Trench coat girl
I am in love with the way you hold your cigarette
Lips to hip, and rest.

….. as the tension builds.
Then the raise!
Fingers arch, your hand surfaces without warning

Hold a moment
(In which I can almost hear your nicotine perfect pitch)
Before you break

Pull in –
And release
Dropping back into reprieve

Thank god for addiction.
I get to watch you on repeat
Sucking away at my attention.
