Altar
Vicky Medina created this altar for the Dia de los Muertos celebration at Riverside (Calif.) Art Museum.
To honor the dead
we build a little altar—
autumn slips away.

Tough Luck
“Antepasados” by Maria Castro, Riverside Art Museum, Riverside, California
I thought it would amuse you
To know that I am dead;
In life you never loved me,
You never shared my bed.
But now that I am wasted
And nothing but a bone,
You think that I’m to die for—
Tough luck! You’re all alone!

Forever
Old cemeteries are what some theologians have called “thin” places—places where the veil separating two worlds is translucent. (Patrick C. Pritchard)
Love one another
in life, in death, forever—
how thin is the veil!

Antepasados
I look like a ghost?
Ha! I’ve come to comfort you
and not to scare you.

Near
We seem far away,
yet we are near as weeping
or the breath of God…

Doctora Lakra,
although you welcome wisdom,
you perceive your end.

Though you’ve heard Death’s call,
still I hunger for your touch
