Campo Sestina - in progress

Far up near the clouds, lives a girl in the mountains.
She works in a place they call El Campo.
When she arrives, the people say bueno.
Life moves slow
here. In the mist
little changes.

The whisper of change
tiptoes through El Campo
high up in the mountains
where the people say bueno
as the donkeys pass slowly
by, carrying wood that will draw the cold from the mist.

In los estados unidos what she had missed
was her drive to make change
being a super hero - bueno.
She had the need to climb mountains.
She faces her fears the opposite of slowly.
