tahtonkah

warrior resting on his
haunches
mexican shield
shinning plate
sun pavement
heat
tired
yeah very tired
muscles
ocean sore
feelings
like taught anchor line
sinewy
feathered
the rasping twisting
sound
of storm tension
mawliong waves swell
and puke
up weight of gods

he stands up the
dull heat
of the desert
baked canns splitting
limping lizzards

why! the colors
on his toungue
stand so present
and the creote
slides
balm down the bark
the pollen dust
fragrance
amnesio
absinthe green
the finger
olayed almost loving ly with
the memory
with each step back after the kill
