friend. this
is the word that
is my candle, my
winter sun, my
sky. not 'lover',
'father', 'mother',
closer perhaps
to 'sister'. i can
say 'vente, hermana'
but leave the shutters
open for my
friend. parade of
desert horses along
a cliff. crest
of light. how
you appear
coming in from
a thundershower,
or the eye of the
storm. tattoo
on the nape of
the neck. s/he.
wind blowing us
together.
