Episode 140 – Dirty Girls

Downstairs.

A little respite
from the noise.
Lights a cigarette
on the steps,
unaware of company.
Another pair of eyes,
some chitchat 
in the dark.

Both dangerous 
in their way,
though now reformed,
they share a smoke.
Words dart
warm and slippery 
between them.

Eyes meet,
but no lips greet.
Just a little respite
from the noise.

good guys
get dangerous sometimes
and bad guys
can look like saviors 
at first glance
