pozo escondido

you must approach
with slink of puma

through whispering grasses
past vigilant crows
guarding thorns
where a tunnel
will open in magnolias
and the sun
is a far fire beyond
imagining

only then
will you hear the voices
of decisive macaws
smell the lichen
of solitude
discover the colours
of all the faces of water
in the deep pool
bathe
with topaz-eyed
horses
where a moon floats
among water-lilies

beware

you must approach
with slink of puma
