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.
