Las Cruces
by Mike Marcellino

been down ta Las Cruces
one time, 
down ta  
sundown wine
color slide pictures 
of mists rising from 
the dusty brown 
tumbleweed town.

been down ta Las Cruces 
down ta the circle 
of six can't stand up inside 
trailers 
beside the coral 
sleeping in the afternoon.

been down ta Las Cruces 
down ta walking  
desert brush hills 
with mountain lions 
and pretty fast rabbits.

been down ta Las Cruces 
waiting for spring 
down ta 
Sunland Park 
quarter horses 
getting lost in 
Juarez,
lost in Juarez.

been down ta Las Cruces 
down ta 
inside 
my worn, 
torn 
second field forces 
jacket 
sittin' in 
the backyard 
sun beatin' down 
makin' me feel 
warm again.
been down ta Las Cruces 
one time.
