year of the fire horse

 the year has not yet
gripped my shirt
   collar, tinsel
burning 
      in the christmas
tree, dumped
 on the sidewalk
 what to expect
 other than
 dismal 
 displays
 of un-
 devotion?
    oh, on my 
    high horse!
      nodding away
        the dreams,
            old ones
            not even the broom
                    can shake 
                    nothing a tea
                    and a cigarette
                        can't fix
                        can't kiss
                        mist in our
                        orange peel
                        faces
