The wind whispers regrets as
I bathe in the fragrance of your memory
Nurturer,
Supporter,
Independent
Woman
Where have you gone?
And almost as if
an apparition
you appear
smelling of Benson & Hedges 100’s
I can hear you,
feel your presence
as I stare into your charcoal eyes
searching for the answer to the question
that I never got to ask.

Omg, this took me back to my childhood.
“the wind whispers regrets…smelling of Benson and Hedges 100’s… Searching for answers to questions I never got to ask”
love the imagery. How you colored your words. Description. Not just cigarettes. The brand and length. Anyone that embraces their culture knows what this is about. Love.
