Sub-sonnet of the Night Smoke!!!

standing at the crossing,

my steps clouded tonight

the smoke, smoking away the city light

singing softly but its echo is might.

“i need to rise now,

long have i served this place flowing in pipes

i need to feel the wind breeze

ducts are now, a too confined lease”

The smoke looks at my puzzled face softly and whispers again

“I unfurl my eddies, but i know where i am going, 

a warm blanket for those i meet on my way

i float a silver lining for the tired souls in dismay”

tonight, at its prime, the smoke goes along performing a heavenly dance

singing to those who hear its grey smokey trance!!!
