Puquelehue

A paradise of fruit and farmer play at first.
Then a cold, unpleasant stay
in a burst of noxious days
with beautiful rays
but toxic ways
of Patrones.

Cheno and Sylvia run the house,
Carmen and Andy run at the mouth:
Racism spoken incessantly
and then unnecessarilly alleged,
passive aggression practiced
while organic pacifism is pledged.
You´ll cath the flu
from these colonialist attitudes.

A false sincerity on the penultimate day,
but then an abruptly forshortened stay.

Don Cheno, this is your goodbye:
your hat is fly
but I´ll remember you by
the way you use your tools.
And I´ll miss you.
