Flowery Revenge
For years now I’ve been using the green
plant on the kitchen table as an ashtray,
it’s deep green and bears pretty, nicotine
yellow little flowers once a year and tang
of perfumed cigars.
“Been smoking again,” she says and sniffs
the air. “ No, it’s not me, it’s the plant’s
flowers they smell that way.” Suppressed
giggle from the green fiend, which trembles
slightly, till fine ash covers the table.
