Breathing Smoke Poem by Lehlohonolo Selai

Today
Nothing makes sense
Not the food
Not the juice
Not the groove
Even with faster a tempo
The melody sounds off

Today
Everything seems dim
Pixilations to your beauty
Blurriness to your sexiness
Colourised eyes to shades of yellow
All seems weird I swear today
As if carried away beyond thick smoke

Today
My breath feels heavier
Wet coal denser
Rough dirty dimmer
Burning bush thicker
My breath is smoke
My heart is set on fire

Today
I am breathing out smoke
Friction in my mind
Friction in my bones
Fire in my chest
My heart burns for you
Today I am breathing smoke
