We drove to a place to look up
I looked up
I looked at you looking up
I looked at everyone looking up
Collective neck crease
Collective hair
falling down
the back of the forest

Here is the place
where the sun comes up
The light turns on
Ankle of the horizon cracks
Email out
Squinting throwing shoulder arm knuckle cut finger nail
Outward!
Body’s deictic message
for thirsty bottomless wide and
crucial
I look the other way, and you flow
The land resists pudding

It is historic
the day we watch
the sweating man
installing a satellite dish on Ash’s casita
He wrestles with trunk of piñon,
curses chokecherry
foliage
fuck shit cunt frond sap needle
He descends, triumphant
Water runs south
We connect
We are anywhere
Reclining in the acequia
The River Email
Water runs over a stomach

Loaf
twice slashed
down the center
steams up
Loaf
containing one (or many) landscapes
one (or many) homelands

Boyfriend takes a shine to the desert
like an astronaut to the moon, squinting
thru big lurid morning,
It’s my usual Aermotor walk
Awe my stranger
on the ridge with a cup
Awe the sacrifice
built-in to loving
people and shrubs
He slips between gaping barbwire, turns backwards
Holds the threshold open
