HaNGinG ouT in The 8TH

is it because you have Pluto and Venus and Uranus
hanging out in Virgo in the Eighth
(House of Scorpio...spooooky)
or is it because your Leo sun and moon conjunct
in the House of Libra
beam with supreme benevolence upon
my Aquarius sun and Venus conjunct in the
House of Virgo
that I overlook the stings
and let you swing back into my treehouse
again and again
you crazy
me crazier
you Mocha
me Cheetah
we be wild at heart and over that rainbow
steamy and dreamy
creamy, I tell you
always, and it's magic
there is no tragic to this
every kiss renewing/imbuing
what are we doing saying
You're Full of Shit
and Fuck You
and we've come too far too soon
and maybe we should take a break
there is so much at stake because the love
is more than we ever thought possible
more endearing
more enduring
more ecstatic
more effortless
more wOw for the poW
(and hoW)
more muchness in a month
than the Fates should alloW

and now is the time to put away the tears
and the beers and the years of lack
let the love flow and know better
than to hold it back
here comes the tide
and I'm ready to ride and let you inside
and find whatever is there
and steal and trample and cherish and break
because I ache when you tell me you would take
me back anytime
your eyes weT
the lips I so LoVe smiling though sad
I can only hint at goodbye
I can never say it
I tried to drive away so soon after we started
brokenhearted on the highway to Texas
but I turned my car around
and took the hard exit
and the hardest risk
mainly because you kiss me like you mean it
and that is what I've wished for
since I was a little girl standing on the front porch
of a trailer house
on a dirt road in Bridgeport, Texas
looking at the stars splayed out in the sky
