MEXICAN PROFILE
Buzzards in the air
and flies
peasants everywhere
earth size
Jungles by the sea
and sands
at each extremity
bare hands
Volcanos over towns
and hills
traditioned in the browns
the wills
Corn and bean for breath
and bones
remembered after death
the stones
Dark feet on the roads
and wheels
heavy are the loads
the heels
Burros led by whips
and shouts
in answer to the lips
and clouts
Adobes out of earth
and cathedrals
attendant on the birth
of eagles
