the shiver
after putting on a new hoodie
indoors
while it rains outside
in the desert
millions of raindrops
swallowing the city's chattering steel
as they charge into the pavement
a tipped well unmooning the sky
the parched dirt
sighing in relief
as it drowns
in blood
the palm trees' spines bent
clay
in the hands of the howling wind
Whole new year, whole new Manuel style. Diggin' it.
