VENEZUELA [08/26/96]


LAST NIGHT
I LIT A
DOUBLE STICK
FOR
YOU

AN ODOR SO 
PROFOUND
TREES BEGAN
TO WALK
AROUND
ME
AS
I
IMAGINED
WHAT YOU SAID

THE DESERT
MEETS THE SEA
WOODBINE
LICORICE
TANGLED
ALL
AROUND
ME

AS I IMAGINED
WHAT
YOU
SAID

ON EITHER
SIDE
OF THE
MOUNTAIN
THE DESERT
MEETS
THE
SEA

LITTLE 
RED 
ANIMALS 
REACHING
THROUGH
THE
VINES,
TYING MY
JOURNAL
WITH
A
BOW.

IT SHOULD
RAIN TO
MAKE
YOU
STOP
CRYING,
FULL
MOON
HIDING
THE
STRANGE
STATE
OF
BEING
TOGETHER.

I TRY TO IMAGINE
WHAT YOU SAID
ABOUT THE DESERT
	AND
	THE
	SEA.
