Maximon altar
Scented wax, cigar ashes,
Petals in shadows

Lago Atitlán
Lighted ripples, silver shreds
Moon over lanchas

Copán Ruinas
Gringos in Tunkul Cafe
Spill margaritas

Diesel fumes surround
Quiche Mam and Kakchiquel
Terminal Market

Cobbled callejuelas
Vendors' voices in the air
Who will buy a ball?

In the chicken bus
Young and old crammed together:
Bend over, gringo
