La Doncella de Salta*

girl with coca leaves stuck to her lips
eternal friend of mountain fairies

her mouth locked forever
in a kiss

uncross your legs
defrost what’s left
in the wine rack

because there will be

no more chicha
for the golden child
of the last capacocha

*barbarism from Waraney Herald Rawung’s great poem, ‘anggur gandum itu’, here.
