Sorrowful

tears and pain over
the sheaf emptied of its wheat
the wine bottle holds no wine
the candle wax remains
after the wick is gone

Summer


worker bees are breaking down
they travel by truck
from farm to farm
their hives on wheels
no home no familiar blossoms
or fields
no silence save for buzzing

here the bees
find respite in lavender
planted at the edge of
the small front yard
or roses clinging to old shingles
in the city
they thrive

my neighbor's garden
has roses as red as blood is
and white as any
cliché or fairy tale's
princess

yet white as it exists
only in image
or imagination

Clear Like Water


pride parade and stage
in one hot June afternoon
wait for God's glory

Tristeza Y Muerte


the agave flowers
rarely pushed too hard
the slave sadly dies

no blues too low
to sing
no sorrow to deep
to write
no day so glorious as
today
