When you can't keep the light out

Nasty Mexican food, walking in back alleys, damp hair, The Clash.
The best of things happen when you don't plan for them.
When I sat on those red vinyl seats some weeks ago
I hadn't planned on busy weekends ahead.
*
I am an earth horse.
Of all the things I wish I could be
I wish I was a fighter.
*
I still wonder about you.
It's not that I still want you,
But everytime someone else has come close
You've stood so tall.
*
The problem with being denied an object of affection
Is the tendency to romanticise.
*
When the first hints of sunlight filtered through ill-fitting blinds
She curled her back away.
You could engineer a perfect night
But not a pefect morning after.
