Balam Ahau
Seated aboard
bus with arms across chest
It suddenly
dawned
That Jaguar as
worshipped by the ancients
Was an ideal
A visionary
fusion of all that is noble in ape
And feline
alike.
The unmitigated
ferocity and stealthy mobility
Of Totemic biped
Unflinchingly
attentive reptile, crafty coyote
Chimeric eclipsed
sun
Whose
illustrious wingspan brightens emblazoned
Against the moon.
Prowling through
mortality with vigilance
Every act
dignified
Growling only
when necessity dictates
Amidst backdrops
espied
Trailing
zigzaggurat lightning ricochets off
Edges of mind.
