Evening
night falls
a velvet blanket
wrapping the world

the city settles, falls asleep
the red light in the distance
like Gatsby's beacon
calls me home

white bony fingers of smoke
curl up from the light
at the tip of the cigarette
pulsing with each breath
mirroring the distant beacon

I am adrift in an ocean
And the beacon calls me home
