Chapel on a hill
dusty dreams, hidden voices, song
walls echo prayers

Times of long ago
ball games, dances and snow cones
village came a live

Creosote bushes watch
Mesquite tree skeletons guard
the Capillita

Concrete floor, white walls
brown windows, tin roof, old bell
tornado creates

A priest and incense
Mariachis, communion
deconsecrated

Silent the chapel
rests on a desert hillside
deconsecrated

Deconsecrated
stars dream in a desert sky
What is its future?

What is its future?
concrete floors, white walls, tin roof
tornado creates

Tornado creates
San Angel de la Guarda falls
San Pedro arises
