Love Poem: The Highway Witch

The Highway Witch

I'm into astrology and reading tea leaves,
while others in the coven read their palms.
                          A west coast look;
                            a beginner.

I sip tea with a halo from the morning brew,
others write lines like they've seen the future.
I'm my own judge, buried before the kill,
but I sprinkle my tea leaves on the LA highway.

        Drunk during my own rituals,
        do I blame magic on my love?

                          My tea spills on
                          the asphalt dawn.
