IN MAZATLAN, by                    
First Line: In mazatlan, the ocean roars
Last Line: In mazatlan.
Subject(s): Mazatlan, Mexico


In Mazatlan, the ocean roars
Around high cliffs or softly pours
Its waves along the silver sand:
Bright shells like butterflies expand
Their wings which glisten on the shores,

And crabs lift staring semaphores
And glide along the polished floors,
Low tides have swept on every hand
In Mazatlan.

Those mornings when Jose deplores
My fishing luck and plies his oars
In secret coves of this wild strand,
I watch the sun paint sea and land
And something in me wakes and soars
In Mazatlan.
