Ocean stone rises:
Fire formed, water blessed...
My ties have shortened.
Perhaps my neck got longer...
The drive from Klein to Houston -
Same as a drive from Managua to Masaya...
Feel this Amulet of desire,
Know this Amulet of security...
This life is my river
downstream are family and friends...
I sway in gentle hammock rhythms
. [caged without key...
Sky becomes stars beyond clouds;
another moon opens dreams...
Moved into this shop awhile ago
cobbling shoes for a living...
I was full of myself, full of my sorrow,
And carefully chose the sharpest razor...
Darkness failed me.
I made myself blind...
Cooking again, it pleases me,
Perhaps even more than those...
Men do not hunt
For the Queen of Summer...
