That's Cool Man !

Discover the trail of my thoughts inside:
"I never expected to have this legroom
generated through everything I need.
                                        Astonishing !
It's going to be irrestible
                                        to get excited.
I knew that I sat in, on your spot -
bigger than the floor outside carpeted with animals -
to simply discover your taste in fridge-magnets
                                       outside."

Scale time for a week
and capture the sun, then try
create salsa nights
Land of the Incas
(Stones Speak II)

From angled stone
which neatly fit
rejecting coins or weed,
harsh shadows fall.

No Temple of the Sun
stood here to bleach
the Incas' dwellings
where harsh shadows fall.

Dry stone channels
guided water
from the hills and mountains
there too harsh shadows fall.

Concealing death
where sacrifices bled
from other blocks
harsh shadows still fall.
