Acoma

Acoma

Ancient wrinkles of Pueblo legend
Find sun crystal a gathering of spirits
That visit in the goldmine of her memory
When babies cry on the messianic mesa
She dreams in the old tongue
With her the last fluent speaker
Of words only she knows
In the blackened waste of night
When petroglyphs chant
On the lost moonbeam of matriarchy

Author's Note
Acoma Indian Pueblo is located on top of a 400-foot mesa in New Mexico. It is 1000 years old. On one of my visits, I was introduced to this lady who was the oldest person there and the last to speak the original language.
