after taking the last new mexico wedding planner in the lobby of the la fonda

the words we say
there under the stars
of taos
aren't nearly enough
like the rain
that fell
from the after-dark
monsoon
clouds
barely soaking
the thirsty sagebrush
plains
outside of town
alone now
in the plaza
no one around
all the shops closed
except the one that
sells chocolate
and other things
we don't need
we can read
the writing on the
wall
and it's meant
for us
one half-finished
lifetime
won't be nearly
enough
but we'll worry about
that
later
