Chaco Speaks, Poem and Watercolor by Mary Barnes




Chaco Speaks

On, on, on the people marched
Under the unrelenting suns.
Only a mass, a web, lemmings
All
Eyes watched, the knowing eyes.
Sacred priests levitated, transfixed, high above mesas.
Sacred birds flew.
The people, one mind
On, on, on the people marched
Under the unrelentling suns.
Only a mass,  a web, lemmings
All
Eyes watched, the knowing eyes
As the Comet seared across the sky
As Fire plumed from the south
Upward into the sky.
The priests, knowing, unknowing
Levitated.
Sacred Birds Flew.
The people, the mass, the web, lemmings
All
Levitated under the suns and
Chaco
Ebbed and flew
