COPACABANA

High on the rocks above Lake Titicaca at
The Huerco de los Indios are two standing
Stones, bridged by a plinth. They may have been a
Sacrificial altar or a sundial, no one’s
Too sure. Below, the girl who collects Diez
Bolivianos, when you’ve gasped your way
Half way to the summit, plays the pipes.
The music floats like a hummingbird.
