Shitcase
(slight Mexican memories of Las Cruces)
Oh to be Navajo
and allergic to horses and hay
overhead
an eagle on duty
the red mesas
become light bulbs at dusk
elders have a funny way
of making laws
birds
flying like children in the skies
the boy
herding sheep of dust

Cuando escribes algo buen siempre me da alegria. Este poem es lindo, pero sin pisar tus pies, te digo que el titulo le quita and I do not want to be your critic; pero el poema esta muy linda para el titulo y tus recuerdos como son relatados en este poema son mejor que un "shithole"
Con Amor,
Esmeralda Bernal
I meant "shitcase" y no "shithole".

Thanks,Sheryl.
Thanks,Esmeralda.Yes,the title of the poem is a little obscure,but shitcase is a little too personalized slang,and you're probably right,perhaps I did choose unwisely.Thanks,again,Esmeralda,I always appreciate your comments.
