i sat on a windowsill
at 4:45 a.m.
dressed in nothing
but my favorite bra
and smoked
my very last cigarette

i watched the awaken birds
flying so high
above my head
without having
any kinds of worries
and
i watched the light blue sky
turn slightly rosy
whilst i caught a glimpse
of the risen sun

as i watched
the world pass by
quietly
i felt such delight
rush through my veins
and
for the first time
in years
i was alive
