Parchment parasols.
\nButterflies along the path
\nin light morning breeze.<\/p>\n
The embroidery!
\nSweet Aztecs lugging clay pots.
\nTurkeys in a bush.<\/p>\n
Dry cornstalks, palms, pines.
\nOn the hillside, blue houses,
\nmoving shadow clouds.<\/p>\n
Swollen clouds above
\npurple bougainvillea leaves.
\nThe first drops of rain.<\/p>\n
Gullies down basalt.
\nSmeared on the grimy pavement
\nred guts of a dog.<\/p>\n
In the cracked mirror
\nfive faces, seven bottles
\nin the cracked mirror.<\/p>\n
