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   a bundle of busted up beliefs

wrapped in wishes with frayed rope

rumbling breaths like wannabe thunder

but more moan   more E flat blue

you will know me by the longing

i summon in you 

to be shaped

by how i shape you so you can't say

who wanted you this way first

rode hard     hung up hard

argent   etched into night sky

telescoping

a toy

a totem

all my treasure
