Crickets Honor You
Crickets honor you,
mower that no longer zings,
scissoring the grass.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Mowing days over,
farmer cultivates the joy
of resting from toil.

Drinking from the Iris
Is another day
of drinking from the iris
paradise enough?

Rock and Salvation
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 62:1-2, King James Version
Rock and salvation,
I shall not be greatly moved—
you are my defense.

Only for an Hour
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Psalm 103:15-16, King James Version
Only for an hour
blossoms tame or wild flower,
then they fade away.

Spawning Bedtime Tales
When I visit Zacatecas, I depend on Antonio Muro to drive me from the airport to the hotel. After I collect my bag from the carousel, I see Antonio waiting for me patiently beyond the security checkpoint, holding a sign with my name on it.
He shepherds me to a nondescript, battered vehicle of uncertain vintage, and we begin the half-hour drive into the city center. I can see little through the passenger-side windshield, because it is shattered. (Has it been hit by a bullet? Have the drug wars come to Zacatecas?)
I fish my camera from my pocket and aim it at the spider-webbed glass. I need proof that I survived this dangerous journey. Antonio laughs and keeps on driving, although how he manages to hold his vehicle on the road—no suspension, lousy steering—is a milagro!
many miracles
multiply in Mexico
