She (part 2)


She blows the smoke from her lips
bruised hard from the process

The process of pursuing 
and being pursued

Every bone aching to be loved
she threw her self as a canvas

Some were artists
some were otherwise

Strokes of blood red and black
across her body 

Like contours of a world
slowly crumbling

She blows the smoke from her nose
that slowly has lost track of smells

Smells of ~
Strangers she had had
in unknown lands
Leftover remnants left behind
by women who gave up too soon

She ashes the burning cigarette
into the night, this night

This night truth revealed itself
in his snores

She was a pencil stroke
fighting to make her mark on-
before the fore play 
and after the aftermath

But she wasnt dark enough
to be noticed

She stubs the dying light
into the pores of her skin

This mark will stay.
