On Cigarettes

he announced I have given up! six weeks and it’s rare I feel the lack I knew just what he meant having given up on us but he omitted how raw that rare how this rare is more like blue there is still a pulse when the knife goes in I twitch ~ CLP 25/07/2021

he announced I have given up!

six weeks and it’s rare I feel the lack

I knew just what he meant

having given up on us

but he omitted

how raw that rare

how this rare is more like blue

there is still a pulse

when the knife goes in

I twitch
