Taos Mountain
Neighborhood
My neighborhood is at the foot
Of Taos Mountain
Over time it has become
My home
The only home I know
A handful of
Spanish influence
Music and dance
Rice and beans
Spanish spoken
Knives flash
A handful of
Native influence
Chanting and drums
Ponys and sacred celebrations
Dark skin, hair and flashing eyes
A pinch of the Gringos
Loud, fat, disrespectful
Frightened
A fine pot of stew
All mixed together
It’s not always easy
Is it any wonder
