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
