What a curtain Bisbee has

What a curtain Bisbee has
That keeps Mexico subdued
And influences the lands
From which the Sierra was hewn.

What purple folds keep Oaxaca
As a fortress in the sky
Breaking only in Panama
To let a vessel dredge by.

No courier have I on hand
Except the initial breezes that blow
So a whisper I channel into it:
Give to Colombia my hello.
