Yellow the pueblo, Sun!
Tanoa squats with her clay, kneading,
Coiling rope on rope of rich red earth,
Pinching, molding.
O Sun, dry the tall olla!
Tanoa's eager brown hands are waiting,
Mixing chalk and water, pointing
Her yucca brush.
A good urn like Tanoa's
Must sell for much gold, considering
What Those Above gave for the making
To a woman.
