memory a blinking light
in my monsoon mind
storms blow in flashing dreams
and dreary nightmares
evaporating from my mind
as fast as water
on mustang mesa

 

Dead Cowboy at Tombstone

 

cities make my brain swell
pushing common sense and patience
out of ears
like bullshit toothpaste

i follow the raven
flying over the center line
headed out of Tombstone
towards roadkill
i wonder if the bird
thinks hes pulling
my truck down the road

5 miles later
i turn up a scraggly nob hill
the road more dusty than dirty
i need distance
from a world injecting
its ears with cell phones

a mile away
i watch a dust devil
dancing down the road
gaining so much size and speed
i expect rain
until a truck emerges
and passes by
leaving the rain cloud
with me

i walk away from the road
into a bottle grave yard
glass shards
popped beer caps
burned aluminum cans
all sacrificed
in a fire ritual
maybe they prey
the bottle gawd
will fill that empty space
in them also
