Lament, beside an Acequia, for the Wife of Awa-tsireh

Yvor Winters

TWO caballeros,

Smooth in the valley,

Laughed—their horses bucked.

The summer foaming.

San Ildefonso

In colors

Faint as dust—

Flower-dripping dancers—

One cannot think

So far away.

And thinking,

Women die,

O Awa-tsireh!

The faded roads

May never move.
