as in the cloisson jar you dropped | B |
little regard | C |
a few brittle pieces scattered about the floor | D |
Let's call it shedding feelings Expensive | E |
There's always another humidor tucked away in | F |
the cranny of another antique shop after all | G |
a woman is only a woman | H |
although a fine Cuban import | I |
is a worthy smoke | J |

What this country needs is a good cigar | K |
Panatellas | L |
He might have added tight fitting long lasting | M |
- | |
Nooks crannies | L |
Little things your ways Fruit fly perhaps damsel wing | M |
as symbol of perishability My emblematic coat of arms | L |
No season of regrets rather | N |
snatch of minutes the oasis span of a single candle | O |
- | |
Who knows | L |
The sun nudging petals | L |
at the close of another day | P |
Your eyelids casting shrouds and shadows | L |

Imagine you this moon | U |
dowagers together crotchety | V |

Blackamoor and sadness | L |
cult king of empty | V |
transforming the bright ruddy | V |
complexion into barely honourable dishwater | N |

You can ask what this means | L |
A cough Twirl of spoon | U |
in a cup deafening answers | L |
- | |
I prefer the lonely | V |
wine bottle | O |
egret in flight motion | H |
retaining dignity across | L |
a crumpled brown bag | W |
Listless linoleum floor | N |
