Corner Swanston and Bourke MAG
March 7, 2010
Girls abandon lovers like dead cigarettes
hurtling toward naked concrete sidewalks
depleted bodies consumed hastily
heads sizzling
an inferno of unshaven desires
never finished
Blood dripping from broken hearts
showering gutters with unrequited love
faceless chain-smokers stumble past
the putrid smoke rises
© Becky G., Westville, OH

Such amazing imagery. It's so short, yet every single word is incredible
As i sit in the tram, gazing out the window, i can't help but wonder what this world would be if instead of smoking cigarettes, we faced our problems.
