Somewhere In Mexico

Stranded,wandering drunk tired miles from the nearest ghost town ,'67 mustang ,yesterday's hotwire Tijuana bound,spilled its fuel then broke down you search finding nothing for miles around Worn by desert air wandering lost somewhere in the desert,its season's always summer blue skies grew dark beyond the horizon...distant thunder Deathly tired and coursed without water an expired beer and tequila quench your thirst an order once cooled by melted crushed ice and chilled lime twist it's the last remains of last night's tavern visit skin sunstained dark several shades until it pained tequila tamed your voice hushed gentle,almost sane Slow tormenting day in the distance canyon shade near the Pacific border miles of landless space ,but its filled with salted water
