Puff

Puff in, puff out
Smoke up, green shouts
Puff pass, pass puff
Fire lit, joint stuffed
Puff this, puff that
Lungs jump, heart laughs
Puff you, puff me
High skies, smooth dreams


I Have So Many Regrets

I have so many regrets embodied in this soul,
But when love comes around I’ll smoke it like a,
Cigarette and puff out all of my regrets out.
And form them into your likeness, 
Then inhale back the smoke,
And disappear like the ghost I am, cloaked in pain.

Denouement

but is a Shrike not 
stuck to its thorns 
just like everything else?

when I turn my
hands back into stones,

           when I bare my teeth, 

                     when I puff out my throat,

don't I always end
up the same way?

is guilt just the heart
trying to even the
score

Awkward Unease Is

when a friend eagerly tosses 
     a hackneyed joke that you're
          sure will puff out in midair;

or when you contrive a laughter
     and he knows you know 
          you're just humoring him;

or when he dishes out more
     jokes believing you're asking
          for more when you're not;

and when you laugh at his being
     so dense, and he laughs at
          your thin pretense!

Sentry

SENTRY

Be ever on duty, it is surely best
Never sleep, or even try to rest
Or risk losing some precious zest
No need to puff out your chest
So proud of the regiment’s crest
Yet by its history, not obsessed
But hope it might not be the test
Whether mere monitor or guest
Only if one is correctly dressed
Wishing visitors to be impressed
But on cold nights, the loneliest
We do simple jobs, I do not jest
Yet definitely not the bloodiest
Our desire to be the friendliest
