This is the hour of my nocturnal thoughts.\forcelinebreak

I watch, distractedly, my cigarette.\forcelinebreak 
Slender, pallid and warm\forcelinebreak 
Like a sick lover.\forcelinebreak 
I watch it being consumed very slowly\forcelinebreak 
like my life and my dreams:\forcelinebreak 
like the life and the dreams of all my brothers.\forcelinebreak 
The ash fell to earth and dispersed. So!\forcelinebreak 
The smoke, it raises, dense and gray, in the air\forcelinebreak 
and is dispersed also. So.\forcelinebreak 
For me naught remains\forcelinebreak 
but a bit of yellow nicotine on the loving lips. So.\forcelinebreak
