My Last Cigarette...

It burns
A silent, seething fire
Eating away,
Steadily
At all, that held it together...
Like relentless desire...
I bring it to my lips
Knowing, each moment
That as I consume,
It shan't last...
And yet
It fuses with my breath
Like my last dawn's mist...
Kissing away
The remains of the night
Waiting for the Sun
To exhume it,
From an ephemeral tenderness...
