lyrics

My ancestors are wide rock walls.
Nuwa water - the god of death,
often a bald man, sometimes a candle.
The banjo is no woman.
The god of death paints
the new caverock walls
to knuckles and ankles
in white, dressed like the first
bather, the singer of monuments
handled hands and desert red
flowers in prayer. Gobi anasazi,
did I grant permission to hold me?
Smiling when she did,
face like a bare sunflower.
