sunburn

the sidewalks are lit up,

sunbright, enough to look away,

into merciful shade

 

I keep thinking I oughta be using

this time to say goodbye,

soak in Santa Fe, burn with her

 

if this is my last home

if this is the summer of loss,

I should let it sink under my skin

 

but I dry out in the sun,

and browning isn't appealing

when I'm outside myself,

beside myself already
