Literature Text

You are the only person that can make
smoking seem attractive, the way you sit
there on the floor with your legs crossed
blowing smoke into stale air, it's entrancing.

I can't help but be engulfed in the movements
of your body. The way your arm twitches slightly
when you bring the sickness to your lips.

It's a dirty, disgusting habit, yet I sit back
and wonder, if I took up smoking, would I look
even half as beautiful as you do?
Meh, it's whatever.

I love the lines:

The way your arm twitches slightly
when you bring the sickness to your lips.


I like how you've centered the poem around one action, one scene, and its intimacy. It feels very quiet and enclosed, and I like that about it. :)

Keep writing! :D
