Block Party dedication

Ode to Sunset Heights Block Party:

Block Party
bohemians...
bikini babes
painted up
painted down
walkin' by
my compadres
and comadres
we
dance
groove
and jive
under the scorching
El Paso sun
our brown-Earth skins
burn...
lovin'
the Sunset Heights block
lovin' each other
belly dancin'
fire dancin'
skateboard dancin'
it's all romancin'

'buy my art
feed my heart'
we call out to
one another...
our neighbors

We sit,
chill...
share
the atmosphere

Our friends' music
all day
we are here
throughout
it's far out
That Sunset Heights
Block Party

were you there?
oh, friend
I was there...

and everyone glowed
in that incense-caressed
atmosphere
as our neighborhood
Sun did set
we each shone
brighter
stronger
in hapiness
harmonious
Our auras shown
in a rainbow's hues
technicolored spirits
and I'd shown
a clear...
light and easy
true blue
At peace
content.
