Los Parronales
Santiago, Chile

where dusty road

divides parcella

fifty

from twenty-two





where bloodied rabbit’s head and paws

still ensnared

rest a casual distance from

torn

thrown

torso





where Luisa’s boys

hold long knives

slice fresh 

chicken flesh

for  Sunday’s barbecue





where the nights

belong to the animals

el Duque

el Guardian

and the tethered stallion

circling tightly

under the Southern Cross.
