Fiery skipper

In this world a fiery skipper

lights up when it finds

gold even more dazzling

than itself and melts

at high noon into the flower

as we sip mezcal nectar

and talk about this

that and the other

local cases local deaths boosters

Ben Franklin’s autobiography

New Mexico’s penchant for everyday spirit dreamlike stuff

ranging around

the known and unknown

galaxies of dandelion
