from each other?s cigarettes
the slow setting sun

    Love how the light lingers, along with friendships. Brings to mind Buson's poem:

    lighting one candle
    with another—
    spring twilight

    and John Thompson's poem:

    graveyard shift—
    lighting one cigarette
    with another

    mosquitoes
    avoid the sour smoke
    chain linked friends

    Nice one! The inherent connection in burning objects works well with the contrast between the actions of people and the movements of nature.

    Thanks for the comments – amazing knowledge;
    and then there was:

    …marijuana
    smoke drifting from the café
    sun wheeling through clouds….

    Excellent, John!

    When I was a smoker, I remember that feeling of connection with other smokers when we were all outside an office building or conference venue. This reminded me of that (although I'm glad I stopped! :) )

    Gare du Nord
    the snow on her shoulders
    as he asks for a cigarette
