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
