I Ate Texas

i ate texas with
butter and warm sticky syrup
plastic fork delight

Del Rio, TX

Cattle Egret

eating the warty green toads
that I was saving

Brownsville, TX

Big Ass Beer

newly arrived spring
thinking of arizona
daffodils and beer

My Apartment in Albuquerque, NM

Hound Dog Behind the Wheel

you might be a redneck
if you let your hound dog
drive you to the store

Arivaca, AZ

Whispering Shadows

the shadows whispered
of flowers and warm days
cool santa fe night

Santa Fe, NM

Tall Grass

my feet disappeared
in tall amber grass
cool texas day

Del Rio, TX

Delayed Flight

flight delayed ten hours
blizzard swirling outside
next day a plane crash

Denver, CO
