Arizona
lesion on the side
unlikely the doc says
where the sun exposure is
I have to explain I’m from Arizona
childhood of aloe vera
Elmer’s glue and sarsaparilla
we have our local remedies
to burns and cactus needles
root beer medicine
cimarrona y soda helada
yerbas mexicanas y novenas
the SPF can’t be high enough
our skin against a star can’t help
but blush
