overwhelmed by its

I’ve fallen in love with Pherzawl’s gentle air,

The hollow spheres in shadow thrive/
Unholy husks, where echoes moan/
A broken mirror, void and throne/

branding Arizona with smoldering,
rubber Nazca lines.
In the steak house, ersatz, Western artifacts,
She says she is Navajo
but she looks like Britney Spear...
