ASTROLOGER

Did I kill a snake
or do I pass forked urine
the astrologer asks
to calculate my future
I tell him no and yes

NIGHTLY ACT

Sees in light
the smuts of the nightly act
on the underwear

Here she goes in the long light
and swiftly a shadow moves with her

FEAR

Couldn't sleep the whole night
darkness of thought spread over
the mind with closed eyes
I negotiated fear
of missing the train and loss
