A Single Drag

By: Natasha Karenina Wijaya

lights gleam
from square windows
of the commons
shining dim like ants 
which I have not seen
faint noises of scrawling
in snow break
vividly into the night
echoing through
the window I left
unclosed

through the gap
I let myself 
a single drag of
temporary relief
and I watch the ash
as it falls six stories 
down to the ground
covered in fresh 
fully clothed snow
disguising the remnants 
of the bits 
of my flickering sins
from the night before
