Causeway
Causeway at El Charco del Ingenio, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
Walking the causeway,
silence carries me along,
silence and birdsong.

Debris
An early morning sweeper, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
outside the courtyard
sweeping up party debris
for the thousandth time
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
conquering debris
after the midnight party
one swish at a time

Courtyard
Skyward view from a courtyard, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
From a hidden court,
the bridal party’s laughter
rises to the sky.

Garden
San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
her rooftop garden
where even shadows ripen
to a rare sweetness

New shadows growing in rooftop pots…

On a Crumbling Wall
Section of a mural, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
~~ 1 ~~
on a crumbling wall
iridescent hummingbird
in eternal flight—
its whirring wings never stop
as it hovers for a sip
~~ 2 ~~
empty garden bench
where last night’s conversation
still lingers at dawn
patterns of loss and longing
nestling in the wooden slats
~~ 3 ~~
all things softening
as summer moves toward autumn—
even field mice seem
to dwindle into mere fluff
a child’s breath can blow away
~~ 4 ~~
a cold deep pool
where she comes to bathe at dawn
dropping her silk blouse
into the dry stems and weeds
detritus of late summer
~~ 5 ~~
offering herself
as an exile from the world—
the burdock knows why,
and so does the peony
with its extravagant bloom

Afternoon
An abandoned amphitheatre, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

looking past crumbling stone walls
to a bright blue sky

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
a birthday party
in the street behind the wall—
one thin note of grief

Door
San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
an old wooden door
needing a fresh coat of paint
wears cobwebs instead
