Stoked to share this Western epic about my home state, Chihuahua; one of my favorite pieces. Thank you editors Meg Kim and J. P. Dancing Bear for picking it as a winner and supporting my work. You can read the full piece (formatted well for phone) at Frontier Poetry:

Another thanks to Jeremy Rock, friend and managing editor at Black Warrior Review, who helped with my first draft in 2022, and to Kalie Boyne, who convinced me to finish it and share.
