i am not well
        not well
                     even more than
                                                 not well (for me-

i am dancing on a broken leg
            i am in gruene hall
                      i am floating the guadelupe
       i am drowning in the rio frio
  i am stationed at fort inge
                 watching the sunset die

              i am one with purple sage
                           and prickly pear
                                the texas spotted whiptail
                        and the coyote

bury me in the cool dry sand
   the moon is too hot 
               for making love-
