B.R. STRAHAN Song of Old San Antone This is a song of birds scattering across the evening sky, a melody composed of fire and fading pearl. It is a slender girl who trembles as she sings. Her voice swirls through palm and live oak like the desert wind. She is a guitar, a trumpet that vines over adobe walls, the embrace of a woman in the extremity of love. Her flesh is sweet water, her heartbeat the sound of spanish stallions galloping over the high Texas plains. She is known in the cantinas in dusty streets behind the tourist shops. She is old as the blood of Montezuma. When she folds you in her body you are lost, waiting on a pyramid for the black stone knife.
