the moon's in Pisces
alta on open palms
can't hide these destiny
lines, seams crease patterns
of mornings in the wild woods,
winter fog. Yellow-footed
green pigeons flock at my feet
at the new moon I see the future
receding like a wave
thank god
for all this earth energy
shakha paula clink and snicker
that if I'm not careful
I'll drown in my dreams
bundled in a 20% kashmiri shawl
smothered in the scents,
atta and attar,
on the balcony below your window,
my eyes scavenge city lights,
for something unseen.
