I am the bitter one.

I sit at the kitchen table
a cigarette perched in one hand
like a paint brush.
Drawing snowy ash pictures
on the rim of a coffee mug.
Photos scattered,
a map of destinations
we once traveled.
Lakes
your white windbreaker
and my sun burned skin,
Birthday parties
where our
faces are pressed so close
we could mesh into
a single entity.
Now I let
the cherry of my cigarette
glow
burning you out of my life
with every 8x10.
