Hidden
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Larry Frank Collection at the New Mexico History Museum, Santa Fe
hidden under skirts
the ripe full moon awaiting
raven’s raspy voice
~~ ~~ ~~
summer’s first full moon
obedient in blooming
in a field of stars
~~ ~~ ~~
from her vantage point
a somber maiden weighing
summer’s first full moon

inland a weary farmer
stumbles along the canal
