I sit in the air-conditioned bus,
staring out the window
at a world that is as foreign to me
as I am to it.
Ramshackle huts, looking like toy cardboard
boxes, fill the hills and mountains.
Brightly colored, yes, but frightening
in their intimations of mortality,
the impermanence of life.
The bus driver points out
a house on the side of the mountain,
built by an artist,
in the shape of a naked woman.
I wonder –
was he making a statement of colonization,
of oppression,
of Mexico's subjugation under the heels
of so many conquistadors?
Of the many crimes and sins perpetrated
on her people?
How her culture was shaped, at times,
by the needs of others,
and not of her own;
not permanent, but as mortal
as the houses on the hill?
Or, maybe, he just liked the idea of a house
in the shape of a naked woman.
