Guatemala

Ruth Yarrow, Seattle, Washington

waking to soft light
on our interior wall—
sun gilds the courtyard

motorbike
over sun-warmed cobblestones
her bosoms jiggle

she slaps rhythm
into her tortillas—
hoofs on cobblestones

monastery:
cascading toward the fountain bouganvillea

poor end of town—
between rusted roof ridges
streams of silver rain

tour guide’s violent tale—
through the shutters, faintly marimbas

Antigua at dusk—
among the cobblestones
glass shards glitter

barefoot in velvet dark
only a whiff of woodsmoke . . .
and smooth cool tiles
