Snow in June

She's snow in June - the delicious cold
rush
that numbs the nerve endings but only
after stimulating them
into the next universe
over.
She might be a curse
or my four-leaf clover.
She might be a blessing
from a caliche-coated saint
on a Northern New Mexico retablo.
She's where I must go -
the only map the person riding shotgun on
the roadtrip
needs.
She's where the road leads.
She's the white powder that can only come
from frozen cloud vapor
above 10,000 feet
after burning your lungs out
for a view of mesa and sage
that looks like it should be seen from an
airplane
taking you safely
far away.
