Arizona
you wear sadness
like a crown of
calla lilies and bird skulls.
your desert moon face
cookie-cutter
in milky way memories.
you know,
the sun's bright here
and the birds sing
and you think of
dead mothers and how
someone poured acid
on a little girl's face.
the grand canyon
sentences, too deep
and too wide.
incomprehensible
Psyche at the cliff,
loving nowhere.
