Arizona's mammilla swell proudly at our backs As our hands explored her plane and crevasse Wrapping fingers around scattered homely secret treasures Prying Revealing amethyst prisms Lover how violet your eyes when opened A rumble you put in our throat and heart Standing upon your arid body Wild horses stir you it would seem When truly tis you that stirs us Bringing forth a river of anger Or simply a natural release Insighting urgency That we should run for our lives Lexi Hilife 2006
Reason for writing:
Remembering looking for geodes in a dry creek in AZ & getting caught in a flashflood. Beautiful and terrorfying.
Birth sign: Leo
