Flick!

flamelets expired,

furiously torn-out & teased

by the claws of her swirling

fall
Flamelets expired

and my cig,
in a fit of embers,

she hit the sidewalk
–in a fit of embers
Flamelets expired,

licked the asphalt

sowing ephemeral suns
on the asphalt…
… Her last stare, red-

burned my pupil

with her mark.
Flamelets expired,

she looked away

lit up her last flare

red,
drying up for but a wink

the dark around…
Flamelets expired,

little spot red

gave up her last

smoke.
