Love Note
A message in the sand at Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México.
Just before high tide
love notes appear in the sand—
how long will they last?

Blue Monday: Upside Down
An unused boat in Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México.
An upside down boat cannot trawl,
Or get you to China’s Great Wall;
And Germany’s out,
So’s Ghana, no doubt.
Your chances of travel? Quite small!

Kick the Song
Fishing boat, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
Kick the song ahead of you,
kick it into the mist and spume,
even though you are shaking,
and three women spinning yarn
are laughing at you.
Kick the song of ruin,
kick it over the boat
where the grey-headed vagrant
slips into sleep
under the spell of opioids.
Kick the song out of the way,
so that no one ever hears it again.
Do not be afraid.
Kick.
Kick.
Kick.

Sanctuary
A seaside sanctuary, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
I will build a sanctuary,
using nothing but a piece of string
a beam, and a post.
It may seem inadequate,
or a mean affair,
but it will not shake
during times of earthquake,
nor will it leave me poor,
for in it my soul will be reborn
as old, familiar prayers trigger
freshets of new meaning
into my everyday life.
It will carry me through
flood and fire, locust and hail,
or any other plague that comes.
This is what a sanctuary is for,
and this is why I pick this place
beside the sea.

Bliss
A heart drawn in the sand by lovers, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
I hate broccoli—
loathe the stuff.
But it is bliss
to kick off my sandals
and draw on the beach
with my toes.
It is rapture
to wear a different wig each day
and keep people guessing:
“Who is that woman?”
And when I purse my lips
to kiss you? O what delight!
I don’t even worry about the dents
I got in my car last night!

NOTE TO THE READER: Some elements of this poem are autobiographical, but I am NOT a hater of broccoli! The declaration of antipathy toward that particular vegetable just happened to work with this poem.

Playing her part
Sunset, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
She quiets her mind and opens her arms,
Embracing the ocean and stars;
Even the planets draw near as she breathes
And blesses both Venus and Mars.
Yoga sustains her day in and day out,
A peace settles over her soul;
She’s playing her part, although it is small,
Her part in the glorious whole.

Sand
Puerto Nuevo, a fishing village south of Tijuana in Baja California Norte, México
Little grains of beach sand
Scattered on the street;
Little grains of beach sand—
Watch your tender feet!
There among the cobbles
Lie the prickly grains,
Guaranteed to give you
Aches and bitter pains!
