I am from dots of light..reflected into sprays of briliant color..congealed matter of body and bone, pastel shades of ass pressed into hot sands leaving an imprint that shows I am
weight and color and mass of illuminated smiles birthed from stars above aisles and aisles of fertile vineyards

Particularly liked:

my head, sagebrush in my cuffs, hot springs
