L'aura del Campo

Serpents all [66]

Serpents all

The Snake River wallows, lonesome,
in the deep and narrow gorge it carved,
following the focused rush of raindrops ocean bound;
but you, O Colombia,
you who braved the floods that scoured the plains
as mountain ice-dams burst with melting lust,
must watch us crouch upon your sinuous banks
in four-armed hugs: curling, coiling, trussed.
