Kacie and Death

She's hanging out with Death 
and they get on just fine
Sitting on her stoop drinking 
forties and smoking cigarettes
Evening wind blowing between
them 
He's got to get back to work
he says 
             I don't mind just do your
job and don't be long 
                                  she says 
He takes up to leave and looks 
at her and wishes he didn't have
to go He takes a long pull off
the forty bottle 
                        She gives him
a hug and he dissipates into 
evening
             The embers of her
cigarette burning still
