January Selection #3

1.

traveling down baja

an air conditioned rental

sucking down
a cold one
saguaro, boojum, pine
bend in the heat
three years
of no rain

2.
black hair
and eyes

white skin

the mermaid
a sign

a key
around her neck

answers the question
is it god
or man

who creates this
heaven and hell

3.
poolside
the maid
brings the drink
as I look past
the expanse
of grey
leafless desert
into
the sea
of Cortez
