Alone yet accompanied

in the moment of quiet

before the storm

the smell of ozone in the air

I light my cigar

and ponder the words before me

You asked me why

my eyes closed the

cigar smoke drifting around me

pooling in the air like a

giant cloud

floating here and there

“Look a giraffe.” I said

but you asked me

and I couldn’t say

my eyes holding the cigar smoke in the air

forcing it to stay aloft

forcing it to float

above me

like a wreath at Christmas

hung on the door

in hopes that St Nicholas would soon be there

but we all know Santa isn’t real

and neither is the smoke

or the sounds

you asked me why

I just don’t know.
