Sunset in Taos

reduced me to puddles
and aftershocks
exhausted limbs
and tousled locks
lit me up
and shook my spine
can’t get enough
of that dope o’ mine
You
You caught me looking
You have beautiful eyes
You hear that a lot I’m sure
I
I froze up
I wanted to say hi
I lost my nerve
We
We stood in line
We made contact
We made eye contact
Fruit and suffering
New life and old skin
Shed the failure and bruises
The wounds and mediocrity
Today I begin
Born anew
A vineyard of bruises is my birthplace
