Jay

Blows smoke across my tears, shares jokes in the dust, then she disappears, I even know the jail , a blanket for our love, whose passage never fails, what brought her here, in the lilac dusk, a woman once so clear, ice blue on the rails, a player till she's bust, absorbed in all her ways, no one could get near, a spark never dull, I swallow all my fears, haunt me like I failed, I did what I could, roll tobacco in blue paper, store away the years, her perfume is like musk, across the bar a cheer, who betrayed her trust ?
