Machu Picchu
by Sharmagne Leland-St. John
Montezuma’s daughter
had gold strewn at her feet
Men offered you the Koh-i-Noor…
In wistful embrace
you declined the Eiffel Tower,
the pyramids at Sakhara,
an island in the ancient seas
off Madagascar,
the palace at Cooch-Behar,
but you accepted me.
From the book La Kalima (Quill and Parchment Press and WynterBlue Publishing Canada, Inc ~ 2010)
