Woven smog

There are no more solvents to drink.

No more throats to clear.

I am Winter's child and I have
come to hold you in my arms.

I am Winter's child and I remember the
garments you once wore with
tiny threads gliding throughout
and lofting their ends on air.

I am going to seek you out and
together we'll smoke the world's
finest Marijuana while counting
cars on the overpass.

Their exhausts lofting like thread,
coming to rest nowhere in particular.
