At the festival
A dog explores the weeds and grasses near Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico
at the festival
she wore only poems
that she had listened to before…
before the wine
before the fruit
before the shades of night
came without warning
to spirit her away
from where she walked
with her favorite dog
the two of them together
clad only
in poems

Mirror
A mirror decorated for Christmas 2016, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
The napkins on the table
And paintings on the wall
Are pictured in the mirror,
The glass that sees them all.
But mirrors cannot picture
The realm within the soul,
Where Spirit speaks to spirit,
And crushed things are made whole.

Angel, do you see
reindeer coursing through the sky—
or are you just shy?

Askew
Panteon Municipal, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
Even when Mary’s askew,
Imagine what she can do
For those whose lives are shaken,
And those who feel forsaken.
