This is a poem for someone few people knew. RIP Layne Thomas Staley.
He sits alone, a cigarette held loosely in leather-gloved hands. The autumn wind blows playful leaves across his boots, but his only response is to pull the collar of his jacket up higher. Years away, a door opens and a voice calls his name, startling him out of his reflections. He takes a last dreg of his cigarette before stubbing it out on his tree stump chair and going inside.
