Will Sanchez
in the valley
under the spread arms
of a statue of christ
that is atop the mountains
the city dwells
surrounded by the ranges
and scarred earth
it is eden,
the garden city
of eternal spring
it is here that i wish to be
with my people
dwelling in the old
the windows were open
to a home down the road
while i was visiting my family
the piano was being played
it was so fantastic
and un-jaded
and i found the player and piano
a girl my age and black grande
how it was to stand there
in the doorway
listening
and her beauty never knowing a thing of it
as it shared so much with everything around
