Smoking Alone Under the Moon



A white stick, under the neem tree,
I smoked alone, for no friend near,
Raising the smoke I beckon the bright moon,
For he, with my shadow, will make three men,
The moon alas is no smoker of cigarette.
Listless, my shadow creeps about my side,
Now we are high, each goes in our way.
