Hello, new here, suppose i want to share my writing :)

VIVI1989 January 11th

Wrote this poem awhile ago, tell me what you think about it : )


Tail Lights

Tail lights, city skies, fog fumes dragging the skyline.  

Moonlight, blue nights, startling storms, sapphire gin on ice. 

The incandescent glow from the north, the setting sun,

The parting clouds, aurora’s swirl rustling naked trees,

In the drive home a desolate town, the glistening sheets

Of snowfall, the scent of incense in the windshield, his disfigured shadow. 


I watch him. 

Rolling the straw paper In his fingers, glancing up through his lashes, 

the current exhale of smoke hovers above his head like a dusty halo. 

The first time. His slender fingers, prickled and thin

Indented with white powder, hold the matchstick to a figure. 

In a split second, a montage of everything flickers in a frame,

Back in childhood before the end’s petered out,

In the veranda, with summer skies and poplar trees,

Along the long, trodded hallways of an abandoned treehouse,

His lanky, tawny limbs, spread out, laid on the hardwood floor

We used to stand on. 


The flame’s blown out. And I'm here. Famished and alone.
