A time to celebrate the closing of another day, completed,
The rods are grey and sometimes pink,
They crawl across the screen like lightning bugs,
Ready to explode on your pillowcases,
An ignition as cold as ice,
A battle of the brains, so to speak,
Hugging your shoulders in a twisted facade,
Curling the iron a little bit more,
The pleasure of soaking your sheets in the process,
A magical hour full of wanton disregard,
For exciting dreams to cum,
A release of dopamine as well as adrenalin,
Caressing every nerve in your body,
Let the fun begin,
Goodbye the problems of the day.

Nicotine
They say nicotine has a lasting pain supplement in it. Welcome to the world of addiction. Analgesic city, here we go. Codeine is a different item altogether. It is supposed to last, although, the pain part, until you are done with the cigarette. I have spent most of my adult life with the crutch of tobacco. It has a soothing anxiety element with it. It has treated me very well through my journeys in life. Always suffocating the void that I have created for myself. Never sensing to amaze me. Until the last cigarette puff is drawn through my lungs.

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.
