Menthol

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. - Confucius

her smoke gets in my eyes

virginia was her name

slim

smooth and cool

flavorful

satiating

ingratiating

curvy and wafting

me, her essence snags

i wanted to roll her into a cigarette and smoke her

right then and there

each and every sprig

with exceptionally long drags
