Seaside looking out over its nouns,
arrow already moody for its taut string,
the cured preparing milagros
of silver, arms and eyes
of copper washed in gold and mounted
in a scene loaded with clovers,
all thanks for recovery as when Cortéz
was cured of a scorpion
having had it foretold by burning a crutch
and wooden leg before the Virgin,
and so had a replica made by plateros
discolored by venom and swollen in gratitude.
