The warmer winter mornings

by Sam Roberts

Sticking to your lips, parched and splintered
Rip off the skin on a cold lonely morning
Warming only your finger tips, tarnished yellow, tip blood red
it wilts away
and slips out of your fingers
Into a pond.
Sizzle
HISS, you’ve been asleep all night
And you dream of that Morning
As nicotine stalks tomorrow

Picturising smoking, I never thought, despite being a smoker.We normally dont stop to 'experience' this mechanical act. You did this.
