After Afternoons
Look over
a desert valley
raw red
rough red
smooth red
deep craters
and rising hills slightly
burning
and turning me
rosy healthy rolling
burnt.
Texas sun
broad-brimmed leather hats
sweet smoke and sweat and
tears
cooling to fall
onto reddened shoulders
frolicking romping
in grassy hills
mud-slingers
wrestlers
sweet
a story traced
by roughened fingers
across the plains
of my burnt shoulders.
