nika rebekah

guadeloupe shrines of ancient washtubs.
paper mache bone dance, glittering eyes.
ocotillo fences

crumble adobe porch homebrew
beater bikeride burrito parktimes summertimes.

curved ceilings, dusty wooden floors.
cerulean, powdered sienna.

acts of homesickness: carne carne carne,
adorned in cacti clothing boots turquoise leather,
drunken interludes with cowboy gents,
bury yr face in creosote,
cover it in green aztec mud.

luke-warm sunshine on closed lids,
wishing homeward

the city at the base of the black hill.
