Deep Creek
Open
to the mountains only
my hip joints moved to remember
life on the edge
a cliffside
of way too hot
the hare that had nothing to eat
the junipers that knew only one home
one climate, one flavor of granite
one deep creek feeds
the container of the desert canyon
an energetic balance so tight
there is nothing left to pretend
to even imagine
anything but my single connection point
to WHY the FUCK
melts in to the earth
the mother
that never leaves
