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.

Ruined

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

Shrine

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.

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.
