"When I'm sad she comes to me with a thousand smiles you know she sets me free." -"Little Wing" (Jimi Hendrix) You left on a day the wind blew up from Mexico, pushing you exactly the way you needed to go. I stayed here and listened to the wind and imagined others listening to it - a farmer in Truth or Consequences weeping for a child dead on the highway, a fourteen year-old girl in Deming looking out her window with sand in her teeth and knowing for the first time what love is and telling herself she will not cannot must not shall not ever forget it. |
