Rauchen

She smoked her cigarette

Like a german cabaret singer

With strangely angled limbs,

Her head thrown back

Dietrich style.

Irregular angles,

With wrist and hand counterbalanced

By the crook of her arm.

Art deco personified

As a human reference point,

Forming an oblique shape

As smoke trailed

Around her neck

In a wispy imitation

Of a necklace.
