Desert Madness

I want to dance on the Mesa
With drunken coyotes
And swoon in the pinoned air
Roam free in the land of
The long legged lizard
Wear scorpions in my hair.
I want to howl in the moonlight
Throw sand at the stars
Awaken the Spirits there.
Too long have I felt
Like a butterfly
Trapped in a spider's lair.
