Mist and Smoke
Abandon to the cosmic mind and then
Forget that you stand in place and time, for
The universe is manifest in those
Pebbles on this beach – primordial kind.
Lethargic clumps of seaweed, discarded
On the sands; like sleeping bodies dreaming.
There must be a billion stars overhead –
A trillion beaches – dreamer’s contagion.
I light a cigarette and watch the smoke
Mingle with the mist. I see through you, like
The mist and the smoke – it gives no pleasure.
Dreamers drenched with regret. I suck on my
Cigarette – one last drag and walk away.
