it equals out and then some

i look up at the sky
i am tired and dry
dos tecate and lime

(concrete blonde)

you sleep curled up on the couch
tv flickering in the dark
a smile
on your face
because you know
through the window i see you
as i smoke
a cigarette
and the wind blows

lightning flashes
on all corners of the curving
horizon
that holds our little los
angeles in the desert
four springs in this place
and it's spring again
it's spring always
now

i allow myself this space
because what i feel tonight can't
be contained
within four physical walls
the clouds
drift
over my head
heavy with moisture
but no rain falls
