desert girl

the heat over takes me
         as the suns rays pours over my body extracting my energy like a greedy lover i lay here motionless
defenseless                          
                                willing
the cold night is my domain my territory
                                 im wrapped in solitude while this suburban city sleeps
the land speaks of memories when this town was a dairy land
               occupied by cows and fields
  it no longer holds any resemblance
this was once my great grandmothers home
    my mother once played in this very yard as a child
lived some years in this very town
                             the houses change but its always the same states the same citys the same faces and names
                           texas new mexico california
were a desert people                 
                      i need an escape from this heat this dust
these violent rays beating down from the sun
    my greedy lover.

nicely put, random but I still like it

. intensely consuming echoes of words that travel through worlds and worldviews ... waiting to find a new hue and a new view ... very fine writing ...
