Lady from Lima
[Dona Ana-1668 AD]
Dona Ana—but twenty-nine
Years old—
Ruled Lima, Peru, with
Diamonds and gold.
Haunted with pride and
Nobility…
She dressed in splendor
For all to see!
And pardoned a friar
Who was quite thirsty!

Bell Ringer: de Copan
In the cathedral de Copan
the Bell Ringer was a boy—
and his only job
(to my knowledge was),
was to the ring the bells…
in the town-let of the cathedral.
It so happened that (one night
around dusk) ,
the lad, with mortal anguish,
inspired madness—in the
delirium
of the moment:
rang the bells like Holy Hell!!
(As I was witness to this all.)
He rang the bells, as if they had
wings—!
As if this was his sermon—.
As he dashed against the Tower
Walls—:
He rang the bells like Holy Hell!!
He rang the bells with Royal
decree!!
He swung on the ropes like a
monkey.
Echoes, echoes—passed through
the plaza-square;
as sinful strollers, strolled
everywhere….
As he rang the bells like Holy Hell!!
And now tell me: what could
I do?
I pealed my hat off my head,
And kneeled on a pew.
Note: Occurrence happened as described in the poem, April, 2005
while visiting the archeological site nearby. #658 [May 13, 2005]
