Etcher sketch

Tracy traced her eyes till they were tired,
Marble blot paper,
Stopped.

Tracy lifts a lid,
Two even,
Tired eyes tracing the lines of her last laugh.

Tracy takes her time to light one more cigarette and puff deep;
Willing sleep but wide awake.

Tracy’s face lies in white,
Charcoal sketch,
Ash,
Fleck.
