Shout Out (Loud)

I call you Poquita
because a little
isn't nearly enough -
my fiesta burrito,
chica bonita -
dusky like Holy Land
earth
with three kinds of
chile and sprinkled
with cinnamon
and myrrh -
sweet and hot
like the friction that
melts the ice cube on
your breast,
switching forms as
molecules race and no
energy is ever
lost -
just changed like dust
obscures the sky
over a desert
city,
behind which
a flaming sun melts
nightly
into treeless
mountains.
