sopapilla sunrise

albuquerque


the very last of a dry sweet autumn
pickup trucks idling in line
waiting behind the mountain
the avenues intersect but then go
their own way after the traffic circle
the rail yards rust in an orange glow
like sweat equity expropriated
stolen by a down payment
of empty promises in the night
     oh sweet
by and by
