Sons of Bitches

Via Ruiz

California

In the morning

We will force ourselves to look

At the desert night

Swallowed by the new sun

And the fat yellow heart of the world

Dripping, held aloft

But tonight, in our dreams

White winged birds

Whistle high overhead

As fires bloom

On the hillside

Like poppies
