Year Of Our Lord |
They’d been watching the farmhouse for a while, maybe all day |
There were two of them, both young and fit and desert-hardened |
They were lords of where they lived and they had no farm teachings from white |
men or Mexicans |
Except for one thing |
They hated the Mexicans more than the white men because of their cruelty |
They had learned cruelty from the Mexicans very well in return |
The smoke from the mud-house curled up into the sky like an albino snake |
The two young men watched and counted the white men down in the farmyard |
A tall man and two shorter ones, maybe his sons |
A woman would occasionally come out from the shack |
Get water from the well in the front yard and carry it back inside |
A small child would be with her |
The men watching on the rim had no calendars so they didn’t know the date |
12th of June, year of our Lord, 1854 |
But one thing they did know: about an hour away were the rest of their party |
Eight men, all armed, running smoothly and trackless over the rocks |
One of the watchers moved away to tell the main party of what they had seen |
The raid was about to start |
