摘要：

 Altiplano   Near where you listen to silence  the violence of unlimited blue  near the place where manic stones sing  sotto voce--beneath your feet--  lightweight deprived of memory  the Sons of the Sun  draw sustenance from the wind.  Altiplano   La ou tu ecoutes le silence  la violence du bleu sans limite  la ou chantent les pierres dementes  a mi-voix--sous tes pas--  legeres privees de memoire  les Fils du Soleil  se nourrissent de vent.

Altiplano.

Cluny, Claude Michel

Altiplano

 Near where you listen to silence
 the violence of unlimited blue
 near the place where manic stones sing
 sotto voce--beneath your feet--
 lightweight deprived of memory
 the Sons of the Sun
 draw sustenance from the wind.

Altiplano

 La ou tu ecoutes le silence
 la violence du bleu sans limite
 la ou chantent les pierres dementes
 a mi-voix--sous tes pas--
 legeres privees de memoire
 les Fils du Soleil
 se nourrissent de vent.

* Tulum, Uxmal, and Chichen Itza--all Mayan cities located in the Yucatan Peninsula--are famous for their architectural ruins from the Late and Post Classic periods (700-1200 A.D.). Tikal, another ancient Mayan city in northern Guatemala, thrived from 800 B.C. to 900 A.D. [DS]
