Moonlight, shattered by broken glass, cuts across the room, setting adrift a galaxy of dust. I'm leaning where the wallpaper has given up, the cherry of my cigarette a solitary ember in the cool gloom. My look is steady, a silent collusion. With a faint, knowing crook of my lips, I gesture to a chair swallowed by shadows. I draw slowly on the cigarette, letting the silence thicken with smoke and anticipation. I hold the lit end out toward you, a tiny beacon in the dark. "Just live a little," I murmur, as the smoke twists and curls in the dim, sacred space between us.
