Listen to poem:

Ojo Caliente

Ojo Caliente


Call on John to
submerse me in the 
Holy waters of the 
Ojo Caliente

Cleanse me deep
In the high desert heat
Hidden in  New Mexico 

Where the ancients came to
breathe new life from beneath
the clear clean springs of life

I am weary of the journey
I am weak from wont

I hunger for the feast of thought
And thirst for the first of 
The newness of things yet
To come

Drench me  in rejuvenating
Imaginings 
Give me flight
    And second sight

Call on John to submerse me
Whose voice 
Beckoned Christ
