I have seen your belly scar Arizona
where the arrow of the civil one
made desert hand tattoos

where your jagged dark acne
is a proud woman breast
rising from the tan earth of your bosom

in summer I have felt your heat
when you touched my hand
with your breath

at night I have heard the wolf ghosts
when they drink from the empty sky
when they spoke around campfires of whirlsand

about your gold Arizona
and the metal bird has showed me
your treasure skin place

I will let you sleep til morning
then I will know your canyons
with my manhand eyes

will you dance for me then
when you wear the morning jewell
on your brown skin woman

will you feed me with crave mouth want
for your deep water
will you name your sand children

after the hollow of my wind voice

DS

The view from above makes the land come alive in a new way.  You see the skin in things and write the metaphor so well!

It gets no more poetic than that, stranger. This is excellent in every way.....

A place I've never been..or been able to embrace. Your words are appreciated in the depiction of its mystique. Must go there some day. Fantastic view you painted.

Sincerely,
Regina
