Letter to Krazy Kat

i wish i was in the desert with you
i’m missing those mesas in the moonlight,
those lonesome cactus
where so often you find love
at the flying end of a brick.
of course a suitable wall will do as well,
that Ignatz loves walls
those monuments to his favorite
his only projectile.
And i long to travel Herriman’s
impossible zig-zag landscapes and and adobe
with eyes wide open.
most of all
i want to read again your lovely lilting “langwige”
as you might name it.
No other Kat can ever compare
to Krazy.

And Herriman’s
impossible New Mexican architecture
in both landscape and town.
