SEVENTH VIEW OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS
Machu Picchu, Peru, 1400 AD
The world of the gods is yours, Chakana,
yours and the condor’s. Even the mountains
can’t lift me out of the puma’s paw; up here
where the air is just the sigh of a dream
I’m as far from you as if I crawled in the dust
down in the earthy world of the snake.
