The Good Ol'Marlboro

April 03, 2022


It was your signature puff of smoke
The smell, the little hole on its filter
It was a part of your persona stocks
The hell, the little flaw on your power

Where's the pack?
The red, and black
Less charcoal, nicotine lacks
The lips, inhaling death between the crack
Exhaling life away on a hazy white ark
The imperfections, the audacity to not give a fuck

Once, you were sitting on a long couch
Your eyelids, didn't let any light get in
Just like your heart was closing everything in
Night was cold, mind was wilding about

I saw you from the corner of my eyes
On the corner of your lips,
It was perfectly hanging, the old Marlboro
A fire was summoned to lit the stick, and your soul
Your eyes, still in the perfect protection of their lids
Inhale, exhale and blow

"To fill me in," you said
As if I wasn't enough
You opened your eyes, a black hole circled by glowing red
As if crying had ended rough

Inhale,
Exhale,
And blow


Where is your Marlboro now, though?

3 April 2022. Black, it is.
