They did not care when
Sir Francis Drake claimed them
for the Queen, or when the Spanish
held and lost them
to the Mexicans
and their vaqueros—
they did not care
when Bequettes brought
the first Devins in
to shade beneath their canopies
along the creek—
they did not care.
Long white limbs,
they will dance for anyone
once they lose their leaves.
