stay in the game  by Bogdan Dragos

he found one crumpled cigarette

in his breast pocket

straightened it gently, expertly

between his palms

put it between his lips and

lit it

He was on the

roof

watching the afternoon skies

a bit drunk

He pointed at the plume of smoke

he exhaled and

said, “The trick is to stay in

the game until

you’re the only one left. It don’t matter

how good you are or

how you evolve. Just stay

in the game until you’re the last one.”

The smoke vanished

before him, raising

to the

skies

He nodded. “That’s what I’m

talking about.”

He finished the cigarette

and went back

down to the wedding

    Beautiful and raw.

    Quiet strength in broken moments. Just keep going, that’s the message.

    Stay in the game, with grace.
