To Odessa Texas
In West Texas
we are surrounded by flame
derrick, rig, turbine
I use sleep as time travel
The dessert, near spent
hot like your first night in hell
You would never know of her endless fertility,
the wellspring that lies underneath,
if it were not for the machines of man
drilling, pumping, thrusting
Rendering each well
of her subterranean secrets
to fill his pockets
and bleed her dry
Amazing
Used to live 80 miles south of Odessa/Midland
