Description
i am the quiet flushof lamplight in the night,
the burnt sienna outskirts
blending into black
somewhere beyond my halo.
i linger in streetlight coronas,
muffling unsteady footsteps
and casting shadows
onto cast-off luggage.
i am the afterglow of cigarettes,
encased in smoking spirals
coiling slowly through the dusk.
i melt in doorways and
exhale in undertones of silence,
an insubstantial murmur
blanketing nocturnal streets.

This is so perfect I hate you. 
I love the atmosphere of insubstance (I think I just made that word up). It kind of reminds me of the atmosphere of Heart of Darkness, but maybe that's just because my brain is still kind of a pile of Heart of Darkness mush from that essay.
