The dying cigarette



I see him sitting
On the dark armchair
With wreaths of smoke
Crowning his head
To assure his breath
And the dying cigarette

A familiar stranger
Hurries with tea
‘Vintage musings
Never leaning to gossip.’

With every cough
You wrench
A part of me
Must I stay
Till it would
No longer be?

But my dear cigar
One word to you,
Don’t drag my friend
   Along with you!
