Three poems: phantom of the rocks; lady from lima & bell ringer of de copan
Phantom of the Rocks
[Huancayo, Peru]
Night falls deep
Upon the traveler!
Low, over the Andes
By Huancayo-;
They know a legend,
Not of this earth,
Where evil lurks
(Over Palla-Huarcuan!...)
"The Phantom of the Rocks";
Should you pass thru there,
At night-be aware:
Expect not to return!...
Note: There is a rock in the form of an Indian Maiden; this is considered the evil spirit of the area. #657 5/13/05
Lady from Lima
[Dona Ana-1668 AD]
Dona Ana-but twenty-nine
Years old- Ruled Lima, Peru, with
Diamonds and gold. Haunted with pride and
Nobility? She dressed in splendor
For all to see! And pardoned a friar
Who was quite thirsty!

Bell Ringer: de Copan
In the cathedral de Copan the Bell Ringer was a boy- and his only job
(to my knowledge was), was to the ring the bells? in the town-let of the cathedral.
It so happened that (one night
around dusk) , the lad, with mortal anguish, inspired madness-in the
delirium
of the moment: rang the bells like Holy Hell!!
(As I was witness to this all.)
He rang the bells, as if they had
wings-! As if this was his sermon-. As he dashed against the Tower
Walls-:
He rang the bells like Holy Hell!! He rang the bells with Royal
decree!! He swung on the ropes like a
monkey.
Echoes, echoes-passed through
the plaza-square; as sinful strollers, strolled
everywhere?.
As he rang the bells like Holy Hell!!
And now tell me: what could
I do? I pealed my hat off my head,
And kneeled on a pew.
Note: Occurrence happened as described in the poem, April, 2005 while visiting the archeological site nearby. #658 [May 13, 2005]
