THE MAD GIRL DREAMS OF NEW MEXICO, WAKES UP SHAKING

by Lyn Lifshin

Joshua Tree Motel
her thighs a
pomegranate splitting,
staining sheets under
his hair as stars
glued mesquite to the
blue dust of her
belly and the
rattlesnake of his
words slithered over
tequila lips he’d
chewed, felt the
sting of later
