FRANCIS C. SPATARO

Cinquains on Mexico IV

STORM-CLOUD
HUASTECA EYES
PLEAD TOUCHING THEIR INFANT,
"THIS WAS NOT BROUGHT BY THE STORK OR
THE MAIZE." *

* In Aztec mythology, human beings were created by the gods from corn (maize).

Huts in
Tamaulipas
Remind me of Dio-
Ramas at the Museum in
New York.

Baroque
Puebla churches,
Temples of dialog
Do not scorn cave dwellings of the
Stone Age.
