in the alley

His long dark cloak

He, the absence of light

His shadow broken only by the ember

    of his cigarette

Interesting write, here :) I love smoking in the dark, that way I could see the ember light up with each inhale! Such powerful imagery and meaning with this, good job!

Thank you poet! Just a silhouette standing in the dark.
