smoke

a ring of dust
is all that remains
to remind me
of where the lighter
once sat
an heirloom
once of my grandfather
a gun
with an unlimited suppy
of bullets
creating flames
which lit
the unfiltered tool
a cartoon camel
selling death
to the masses
taking the strength
from a man once proud
left to sit on his porch
oxygen in a can
a diver
in the driest ocean
no gills
no lungs
a desperate whisper
one more smoke
before i go
