Laurie Perez Quotes

The Landscape Started Hard, Sharp Black Mountains Over My Shoulder And Thirsty Young Saguaros Hugging Patchy Dirt. Gradually It Let Go, Began To Green On Me A Little. I Crossed A River, Watched Succulents Get Fatter And Farmland Start To Wave, Hoarding The Blue Above And The Few Clouds It Had To Spare.

I Knew The Route Somehow, Knew The Curves, The Directions, The Exact Way To Go. I Knew It The Way You Know The Stars Are Still Up In The Sky Even Though White Sun Obscures Them. Everything That Had Happened Before Lukeville And Sonoita Began To Liquify In Memory, Feeling More Like Fiction Than Personal History. Funerals And Pain, Girlfriends And Mothers, Roommates And Priests All Tumble Away With The Desert Behind Me. The Only Thing That's Real Is The Road I See Ahead. The Only Person In My Life Is The Man Sitting Silently Beside Me. The Place I'm Going Is The Only Place I've Ever Wanted To Go.
