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!

Closer to the Root

“Trabajo Fijo” by Cosme Cordova, Riverside Art Museum, Riverside, California
nothing more to hide
laid bare and flayed to the bone—
closer to the root

If a Door Opens

If a door opens,
say good-bye to here and now,
let the light lead you.

You shall not hear me—

Near

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