an old gas station on west end o' gallup
She was a collective metaphor for perfection
he was  recepetive but  coldy analytic,
hardly noticed by the untrained eye;
specific make and model: wholly domestic
Created as a vessel for procreation,
in Her left eye wells a tear
that will never pass inspection
Unknown to most but forgotten by none
who assumed the worst was yet to come,
She had the name of Eve stamped on Her soul
In his, a manufacturer's Code
Strength not visible to the naked eye,
Intelligence passed with self-less devotion
She has no regret but one...
and he sits quitely alone
A Song of Solace
Wholly Shovel,2001 ; white ink on black paper
Have a Blast,1999; photograph; an old gas station in Gallup NM
