pale and lonely in the dark

I let the bitterness warm my throat
and exhale pollution into darkness:
thick clouds of smoke and chardonnay.

A cold gust replaces the smoke with endless black.
Like a balloon floating in an infinite sky:
breath lost forever.

One more soothing gulp,
the uneven sidewalk
and oncoming buzz.
