Hey Deanz!
I just want to say that I truly loved this piece. I love the imagery that was used -- I think it was strong and really vivid. In my eyes, I imagined almost like this dreamscape -- it was very trippy with the technicolor description -- and I love this unique perspective of Arizona. It really puts the reader there.
There's a ghostly quality to this too, which I think fits the content really well, almost like the the figure of the grandmother is held in this spectral reverence by the speaker. One thing that I would suggest is possibly going through this and fixing up the aesthetics/technicalities, just to make it look more professional and to help ease the readers who are reading it. So, there are some spelling errors here and there, such as "mesmerizing" in that next to last stanza. Also, some of your floating commas throughout -- I'm sure it's just a format error when you were trying to submit the piece. Click on the edit button to the right and see if it can be fixed?
Other than that though, this seems like a personal piece, which not much else I can critique. There's a lot of heart in this, a lot of beautiful and unique imagery. Well done I enjoyed reading this and would generally love to read more of your stuff ^^
~ as always, Audy
