I wish

Appeared in the zine DIRT (print) April 2016:


I wish

I wish I could ask you
to come down here to the desert
where the sunsets stay red longer
and brighter
and hawks hover
at eye level
in thirty-mile-an-hour winds
hunting
up here in my tower
on this forest island
where everything wants to scratch
poke
and bite you
