2 Ahau
Yellow Lunar Sun
Before the Sight comes Sound
Hoof Beats like Heart-Beats on
Blacktop –
A Horse and Rider bound
For Work or maybe Home
Seeking Sustenance as the Sun
Climbs to Zenith – sere and severe
Clip-clop/ clip-clop / clip-clop –
A Brown sorrel Mare moves into View
With a side-saddled Shepherd
shouting, “Yasu!”
“Yasu! Tikanis?” I respond –
He tips his Hat to me
Finally, bringing up the Rear
Of this Ionian Cavalcade
A creamy Labrador Retriever
Panting in Anticipation and Thirst
She knows that in the final Reckoning
–
The Last shall be the First.
