Na/GloPoWriMo Day 8 Repetition


Western 

you will know me by that scent

announcing itself across the rangy desert 

petrichor and gin   creosote       sage    


you will know me by what i drag

through dirt       the bundle of busted up beliefs

wrapped in wishes tied 

    with fraying rope


air pulsing rumble breath      wannabe thunder

more moan      more E flat blues


you will know me by the longing

i summon in you 

                    to be shaped


        how i shape you so you can't say

who wanted you this way first

rode hard     hung up  


beautiful


    argent      blue     etched against night sky


every shape of you

bejeweled


lavish  drops      longing still   unmeasured



you 

all my treasure
