XONM

In strands of juniper

Among the cholla and the brittle prickly-pear

Beneath a cotton sky

Held in halos 'round the sun

Are we suspended in

A state of chronic fear of death and disbelief

The weight of helplessness

The solemn process of apocalyptic grief

I wanna dissaapear

Into the red clay earth with you

Into the winding arroyo

Into Orion's bending bow

Swing wide o gates of fire

To claim the breath of every lovely living thing

And should we all expire

Let only echoes of our love be lingering

We donned our Silverheels

To dance in insignificance and gratitude

Over the spinning wheel

The evidence to galvanize that simple truth

I wanna disappear

Into the red clay earth with you

Into the winding arroyo

Into Orion's bending bow

One more generation's song

Laid to rest or soldiered on

Washed into the blue beyond

Floral carbon blooms

Floral carbon blooms

Floral carbon blooms

I wanna disappear

Into the red clay earth with you

Into the winding arroyo

Into Orion's bending bow

Into your heart

New Mexico
