I killed you in New Mexico (Free verse) by sunset sky
I was your temple-worship
Hand me down.
A temptress in a cave found shivering
Reciting lines from Indian gods.
Calling silly sounds from mouths of fire.
I went grave digging for jewels
To replace your haunted eyes.
No, you didn't know it
But I was your murdering princess
Killing what was left of love and memory
And you, a love-killer prodigy
all worry stricken lightning eyed,
cried for her threads to be torn,
Kneeling and bleeding
to death.
