Blue Monday: Hummingbird
A hummingbird mural dominates a house wall in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México.
Hummingbird, hummingbird, bright green and blue,
My heart is aflutter just seeing you!
I am transfixed by the way your wings shine—
Hummingbird, hummingbird, bright and benign!

Bloom
A fanciful mural adorns a house, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México.
In a painted pot
the lilies someone planted
have begun to bloom.

Pyramid at La Cañada de la Virgen, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México.
In ruined cities
the dragonflies still whisper
in an unknown tongue.

La Virgen de Guadalupe on a shadowy wall, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
At a wayside shrine
a weary mother pauses,
hoping to find strength.

More Twelve Days of Mary at Recuerda Mi Corazon
When I was a girl
A mural on a house in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
When I was a girl
I wanted to be someone’s wife,
washing his dirty clothes,
then hanging them out to dry
on leafless bamboo poles.
But the day I saw a blackbird
in the backyard bath,
its eyes aflame with fire,
I felt within my skin a stirring
to make paintings
envied by both monk and nun.
Now masked, with brush in hand,
I steal out every night
to splash the darkened city walls
with light, and then more light.
