P O E M - Mountain Stone Guera

(guera pronounced WHEH-da, slang for fair skinned, green or hazel eyed girl)

two thousand dollar bill eyes
as honest as their best lies
avoiding her cliff would be wise
far from the mountain stone guera

without wings to fly bear
burden faith in the ocean air
challenges start at birth
cursed by all of this earth

infectious laughter sings
needs no diamond rings
resigned to writing letters
to a mountain stone guera 

lungs meant to breathe in agua
at home in the cradle of her sauna
fetching dead poems oblique
never talks rarely barely speaks

coconut crabs boiling in
the sauce of original sin
to the east it looks to prey 
much like the mountain stone guera

coral polyps with reef hopes 
floating coral affections they coax
with a drink in the hand worth the bush
that forest mountain stone guera

polar caps popped in the ice
the coolness of death at first nice
to move one must stay warm
mistake no caution forewarn 

nature is savage serene
only hunters know what I mean
charm the lethal bee most mean
armed mountain stone guera

the mountain stone weda is a cricket in the artic
