CRAZY INDIANS

Shape a cluster of rust-colored forest
in the shape of a fan
and mix in powdered chocolate
adding light mustard
colored in dusk hues.

Add confectioner's sugar,
a lemon to lend light to their mind.

Mixing egg whites
and confectioner's sugar
make a glace to shape their mouth.

Their eyes are also formed
with egg whites and sugar.

Mold their bodies
with tapioca flour dough.

once they are dry,
let these creatures loose
in the jungle
so that bulldozer blades
will grind them up again arid they go back
to what they've always been since 1542:
eyes filled with fury arid fear.
