melodies #4
In the city there are rooms where people drink, chat and smoke,
each table with an ashtray and a flower.
Conversation becomes melody between these walls while, outside,
traffic would eat at the world.
A shelter, for some reason I left early. Let the snow cover
the city, and I wonder at the curl of cigarette smoke that purles
its way to infinity with such blithe indifference.
