In New Mexico
They were up high
She had asked her father to bring her here
To this place in the mountains
Such a cool, wet place
She loved how the mountains seemed to kiss the desert
just on the other side.
They had left Texas
A hot, humid Texas with temperatures above 100 degrees
and escaped into the mountains.
It was a trip he had taken before with her mother
after she had tried to kill herself
and when she was still looking for a cool, wet place.
