Scorpion feet lucky rabbit
High desert love triangle
will you fruit tree
Can you spot me glacier & wind gusts
Mountain meadows over dull yellow dunes
To soons, goodbyes, rifles in each corner
Turkish coffee
Wearing my ruana
Devil's tongue chile
Mouthfuls of honey
& mango preserves
Even the dog knows better
Then to nose poke a scorpion,
but you see there is a brittle brown
piece of plywood 30 yards from the front
porch. Underneath it is a decomposing rabbit
And a fat see through scorpion
Poisonous, & barbed kisses
full of babies.
Heeled before it's time.
Who said rabbit's feet
were lucky?

I am too afraid to tell you which line I liked best.
ah what the hell. it's your iceberg tip caught in my craw..
Devil's tongue chile
Mouthfuls of honey
& mango preserves
Poisonous, & barbed kisses
full of babies.
-i had a crystal clear vision of the scorpion, and i like it.. i wish i could paint it and hang it on my wall, but im a poet because i couldnt draw worth a fuck.
btw, whats a ruana?
blessed with nine.
