I have watched her now for forty five long minutes As she stares out the window Waiting on a war with worthwhile spoils I have given up on politness She follows me to the yard The pit bull loping at her heels Outside in the cool night we stand Gazing at the midnight air traffic She aligns her body with the north star And shivers unknowingly in the porch light She asks my favorite constellation And I point it out with a lit cigarette She drinks heavily from Aquarius The grass is dead and I am only pretending She is  beautiful there is no doubt As she sits beneath a purple neon bar light My belly is full of wine and she says my name Tossing it around drunkenly like a cheap token she wants to trade I have to leave this place People all packed together blowing smoke in each others faces Laughing loudly at anything but the biggest joke of all She follows me out the door onto the sidewalk I hate her eyes for in them lies truth The cloak and dagger of her kiss Goodbye She wraps her coat around herself Walking away without a word I should stop her She should stop But
