~ Suspicion

... the road snakes

through the mountainous country

from arequipa to chivay, perú,

up over a 16,000 foot pass.

 

along the way,

you will find a stone building

with a tin roof

that chatters in the wind,

and you can drink coca tea,

strictly for the altitude,

you must understand.

 

outside the building in the swirling dirt,

beneath an unforgiving sun,

suspicious women gather

to sell their wares.
