Cigarette butts in the hospital parking lot
cigarette butts
in the hospital parking lot
how many of them were smoked furiously
with prayers
the way I just smoked
begging God
exhausted
and in terror, all squished out now
in the cement
with the others

still didn’t want to talk to me
but maybe
you were at least
thinking about it
