in the am

18 degrees
this morning
too cold for standing out on the patio in
my boxers and
smoking
a cheap cigarette
but i did anyway
ay chingao!
what part of the country
is this anyhow?

but wow
you woke me up with a sublime wet
straight from the amazon
as wild as mountains
that shadow jungles
where water drips from broad leaves
like tears
in cloud forests overlooking deserts
where it hasn't rained in a thousand
years

a damp like tidepools
left behind on beaches
where wild horses run
and red suns sink
melting like plastic in a dali painting
and slowly so slowly
crash into oceans
speckled with atolls that no longer exist
(and from the air
everything shimmers like glass)
