al oeste

I'm watching 
the witch on stage
do her mysterious
chanting but
the absence 
of your touch
keeps zapping me
in and out 
of body as
our friends kiss
behind me

pouring alcohol 
on sadness is like 
gasoline on a fire
we know
out of touch with
my dreams, too
lately
they vanish more
with each alarm

but you were there
with a prettier girl
so I'm askew all day 
in the black hoodie
I need sleep
and a nod from you
some place to put 
this down
