“A Brief Explanation of the Connection between the Gila River and Montauk, New York”
The Gila River's mouth leading to
the mouth of the Gila Monster
like every sharp razor in it's feverish jaw
cacti leap from the ground nursed by Ironwoods in the humid air
creating a shade like a towel dropped on the floor
in a bedroom occupied by two lovers
jeans the only barrier between the two
such as a fisherman is separated from his love
of the deep and mysterious murky blue
by a boat that has brought him there
reunited in Montauk, New York along the Atlantic
the fisherman and the ocean
no sharp razors or sweltering sun
only the fisherman and his inamorata
