I'm going to New Mexico to wait for the world to end when the snow falls endlessly in the winter i feel so at peace that even history ceases haunting me The ghost of my grandma stumbling drunk through her flower garden flees before me, ashamed. Everything stops. The only motion the falling flakes stillness returning as they hit the ground. I'll tend my grandpas vegetable garden and all his cats Cook my meals in the big kitchen downstairs In a home that holds both my childhood and sorrow as consuming as the wildfires that nearly burnt it down knowing only that I love the land around me where the mesas fold endlessly into the distance like ribbonwork the only place where my love isn't blocked up like clogged arteries where it just flows and flows
