September 1st wedding in our
own private oasis
JRC’s Quaker cut up and the spell
shoo shoo shoos all things profane
Toasting with Raspberry mead
we jumped the broom
broke the glass
fasted the hands
September 1st wedding spot in
a northwest suburb of Phoenix
where sightings of La Llorona
and Desi Arnaz
have been seen dancing around
the casita, the beginnings of
a ghostly conga line
In 1961, Marilyn Monroe visited here
for a luncheon of watercress sandwiches
and tumbleweed maracas
This was years before the great haboob
carried with it and mixed into it
the ashes of my loved ones
from my ofrenda
It was a windy, winding season.
