Arizona

I overestimated your heart as if carrying around my counterpart

Like an oil tanker, cavern of an interstate at night in an Arizona desert

Open for miles with the blackest sky and tumble weed drives

Blowing a colder than expected wind rustling mixed images

On the fringes of expectations waiting for melting days

Dripping out would be wax skin like candles expiring

Eggs in a skillet asphalt expanse just waiting for you to ask

A question back staring at that egg man

Dangling on the bottom tip of the crescent moon

Fishing for your emotions and plunking the cork

Felt like a gushing steam of Colorado

Breaking down the mountain’s tongue licking down

From Paris to Rome and seeing me in that sand all alone

Pulling my feet right off the edge of that lunar bench

Fling me down like a sacrament; snap my limbs against the dunes

Burry me under all those grains, completely full

No need to breathe or even conceive a mirage

But justice shows ten years gone and now I now

The splendor was a sliver, a drop from a canteen

Could keep me from seeing the life you were living

Using me for a pick you up like a vagabond hunched over in the back of a pick up truck

Passing through sympathy for a second glance with lies about the happen stance

And the food-colored love just doesn’t taste the same

Without all this sand in my eyes

Turn around, drop me off back here in the dunes and

This time I will find my way out of here on my own,

Stand up and stake my claim on a golden pan right here in my own hands

Spit these specks of you right of my lips and dead end dreaming, I’m gone, I’m gone,

I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone
