AS THOUGH THE GODS LOVE US
Goh Poh Seng
Venture out onto the roof garden
of Deanna and Peter Austerberrys’
house on the steep stretch of Huertas
and from that vantage view
overlooking San Miguel de Allende,
watch the imperial Aztec sun,
centripetal, as it sets,
smearing the indigenous sky
livid red with sacrificial blood.
