Mexico
Retreat facing Popo, July, 2006.

by Jaya Ashmore

unripe lupines jewel birds
attacked trees still grow
barred cottages organic milk
salad of diced cactus
tomatoes are green
jicamates are red

Sprigs of bouncy pine cross the path, comb my heavy hair.
Todo tan humedo que solo la quinta cerilla se illumina.
Flotando en las nubes, Cerro de las Estrellas, tallest volcano in North America. I looked straight out over the valley--not down into it--and he was at eye level.
Se borra de nuevo el volcan.

black volcano's belly
black lizard
long legged cows call like an owl
deep in the valley

black earth

terra cotta tiled rooftop
succulents clinging
scarlet fluted flowers

ancient green
scarlet-mouthed hummingbird
colibril
Also, ancient--coppery green--volcano velvet apron.
