The dead don’t know so
don’t bother asking the
ripple effect in your
ice cream eyes when you
disappear
in the mariachi fog like
Voodoo Chick or
El Kahuna Grande
picking up the tempo
in the Twang-o-matic
certain barbedwire logistics
describe the plum blossom mist
that drizzles down when she
shakes her hips
that’s her in the middle
every heart-shaped molecule
like shadows on the cobblestone sand
& I’m over here
confessing my black t-shirt
bleached by the sun
