Last Smoke

It's late now
and I stand outside
in my boxers
and find I am not
cold
because the wind has finally
stopped.
The clouds have gone,
leaving behind a crystalline
sky
tinged with blue-
black sadness -
a Billie Holiday song
shattered beautifully
into billions of star-specks
drifting.
I step off the concrete and
the desert sand is soft,
shifting beneath my weight,
holding me like home -
the first one,
the last one,
my own.
