Bronzed and Beaming Through Smoke

By lupus tenebrae

I
catch a

hur-
ried glimpse of you,

beam-
ing through the wisp of a stranger's
cigarette, fad-
ing;

tan
...

skin-
deep, bronzed by portable sunlight,

bottled
...
...
then kindly set aside.

I love the minimalism of this and the way there's enough detail to create this wonderful intrigue. Brilliant stuff.
