cigarette flirt

"got a lighter, missy?"
his easy grin
on thin nicotine lips

i took
my lighter
from my purse

i mumbled
"why don't you kiss me, honey?
catch my breath
and heart on fire?"

"you sayin something?"
his casual tease
on brushing his curls

"here it is..."
i toss my lighter in playful gesture
