indian ruins


dancing like salome in quicksand
we made love in the ruins, ancient
you built a sculpture
we finished a novel over
thousand year old pottery and tools,
indian,
you felt heavy from the energy
of the rocks
the coyote sings stravinsky at twilight
and spinozoa hums in the hills
we should sleep here on these rocks
and watch the universe spin
but it looks like rain
and we are chicken and cold
