for David Leonardo Chavez Castañeda at San Miguel de Allende
Give a kid a crayon and see what he draws.
His hand isn’t steady; his lines aren’t so fine,
drawing a cow on a white spackled wall.
When he’s a man, put a brush in his hand.
Watch what he does with sienna, blue,
yellow, red, and green. See
the women weaving wreathes
and the landowner-politicians
with their ammunition.
Look!
The townsmen stand and pray.
Hand him a pen and white paper. Witness
what he has to say. His lines reverberate
with each measure. Smell the powder. Hear
the shouting at the wall.
