Barstow Blues

hacklec

Fire flys angle down asphalt in a sun wake
sand dries forever on faces by the almost green

of echoes owned in a pocket of
never mind
minded

Arriving in Barstow
a scorpion sky narrows
to island eyes
of coiled killed, ripe rattlesnaked.

How the desert scratches
The whiskers you keep

When the everywhere of nowhere drips
