-The cigarette ash falls, dancing in the wind;
he thinks of the dust, the remnants
of many days past; the residue of memory.
It gathers in the crevices, in the tiny spaces
between finger tip and nail, between
the u and i on the keyboard.
The ashen layer of what remains,
of what has been left behind, what
has faded, under the strain of time.
