Cueva de las Manos, Patagonia
We press hands on cave walls, blow paint
from hollow bones to spray ochre, yellow,
blood-red hues round silhouetted fingers,
while we chant, and a nose flute’s melody
charms the spirits deep inside the rock.
Outside, galaxies startle the black.
Araucaria trees stretch searching fingers
toward the stars, and a lone coyote howls.
