Fear of passion-traps echo
From the running of hard-soled cowboy boots
In a dusty dessert dream
Near the canyon’s roadway
Opened in the earth
Wounds of wonder
Leading yonder lonely
With reflections of Coca-cola Sundays.
On a porch corner drugstore
Once
A nowhere town
A tucked away sacred somewhere
Where I’m bound by cross-road dreams
In dusty dessert thought
With toe-in-gravel tracings.
With each their coming to pass
Summer dresses sweat
And waver by
In plaster-wet autumn smiles
Sultry in the passions promise
Faltering in the wisp of dreamy eyes.
Dare I not
But touch the dessert fruit
Dare I not to wander into the canyon
And bare the wounds
Ragged in the earth
To bleed in the river dry once more,
But just...
To be content in the memory of
Sultry summer Coca-Cola Sunday Dreams.

This sent energy running through me.
Vivid images and I felt that dry desert air.
Bravo to this one as well.

Coca-cola Sunday is a lovely expression...And the poem itself has a beautiful, wistful feel to it. Clever to use the image of the desert and it's dust to conjour up the impartiality of human memories dreams and desires. So many poems I read come across as trying to be clever or over complicated. This one however is naturally itself. Er ..does that make sense?
cheers for this,
