hand rolled tabaku
on the stone sill, cactus behind
reflecting glass
Surreal reflections in a window in Pisac: fluted green cactus with convoluted roots, yellow ear of choclo, abandoned hand rolled tabaku, peeling paint, rough adobe, chiseled stone, orange bull's eye, blue doors. Tabaku, the Quechua word for cigarette, has obviously been borrowed from Spanish, but choclo, the Quechua word for maize, is original to the language spoken by the majority of Peruvians.
