Horoscopes

I was shutting the door and there was a place where I

was alone in my thinking and I flicked ashes on clean surfaces

I had dreamt all week, and I found I was dreaming of worse things

I re-visited the past and saw where you told me you were always watching and

observing and how you thought I would be just fine eventually



I've got to tell someone, how tired I've grown of the only spark alive is always

dying on the tip of a cigarette

Because I was intimate last night, and I felt nothing but the heat of the hood against

my bare back

I drove home and slept for ten hours and woke up sore and back where I started

Always aching to know if you've been anywhere I have, and what you think of

love these days



Listen. I dwindle and form.

It's not much, but I have this thing for you.

The horoscopes say, it's a really bad idea





And I guess I live off of those
