Gino

I passed by 29 Palms yesterday
for the last time to see Gino

There he was teaching me
how to cook chicken
walking down the street in china town
looking for the best duck to be had
in all of San Francisco

Sleeping under the stars in Big Bend
we contemplated a life that was bigger
than both of us

Traveling across New Mexico we were
heading for the Mexican border
only to find the end in Big Bend

Late November 2009
