Define the word – besotted.
They promised next year,
the Year of the snake,
to be agile and open.
They promised to relax,
cheek to shoulder,
adrift the San Juan .
On desert currents, breath weaving breath,
they would become an oasis;
island of reed and pitch.
There!
Sage wears fists of turquoise:
one for patience,
one for hope.
The jungle is
everywhere
and she frets about
forgetting this
moment.
Forgetting is like
a fox chasing chickens -
dreamers scatter.
Cedar chases frontier along granite walls,
expects to feel embarrassed;
already love has stripped them down.
