Saddle Blanket Tacos

spread legs
upon fibers of
wool spinning through
a mexican village marijuana
grown, the horse ridden with
an appetite of mission scripture
founded by jesuit missionaries
encouraging the growth of haciendas

indigo bushes
gringo women
eating saddle blanket
tacos striping pink gold in
alamos bringing a steady stream
of quartz white - adobe chapel on
the silk road to hermosillo

canteen shared
mormon tea polygamy
watering desert plant evergreen
tattooes ephedra - mescal spit
intoxicating saddle blanket tacos
