answer.1.From the dusty mesa, her looming shadow growsHidden in the
branches of the poison creosote.She twines her spines up slowly
towards the boiling sun,And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran
with blood.When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes
unfold,Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.And rise
with me forever across the silent sand,And the stars will be your
eyes and the wind will be my hands.

12.X is a cult Indian movie released in 1998. Directed by Kanti
Shah, it stars Y. Since its release, it has attained a cult
following among pan-Indian audiences due to its absurd storyline,
farcical dialogues, low production values, poor acting and "so bad
that it's good" qualities. Ravi Balakrishnan of The Economic Times
states "The Y-starrer has gained a surprising amount of cult
popularity over the years, with several adulatory reviews and even
fan-sites cropping up. But when we first saw X, back in 2005, a
full seven years after its unheralded release in 1998, it was the
first any of us had heard of the film or its prolific director."
"Watch X, so that you can say to your grandkids that you were part
of the generation that saw it first" says Kamayani Sharma of The
ILIKE Times.X, Y ? Gunda
