Alphabet of Days (8)
8.
He lifts a smoky chin
over sand & cactus & lizard,
settles in against the stars
above Joshua Tree, against the beat
of legend, the click of train to rail,
until his gray puffs of bone
come to nothing
The words say
wild horses run the flatland to where
the only music is wind over rock –
a mirage of silent curves & sin
(his own) with mounds of bottles,
with pools of goodness
