A bright red bag

a pack of cigarettes

left by another.

Stress level rising

Head exploding

A cigarette

between two fingers.

A puff

Memories flowing

Another,

Transporting

Flashbacks

Smoke

Breath smells of tobacco

feelings too familiar…

“No kissing after smoking!”

Laughter following.

A street light

A shanty shop

Unknown  land.

One puff

Two puff

Three puff.

Some wounds

Never doth heal…
