at what sort of price?

someday wedding bells

Riding Down the Bones

Fábrica La Aurora, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

dreaming San Miguel
flayed and frayed, yet carefree still
riding down the bones

Through the Wrong Door

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Pursuing the moon,
I stumbled through the wrong door—
only shadows there!

Ruby-Toned Fountain

St. Michael (San Miguel), guarding a dry fountain, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

With your sword held high
you guard us from all evil,
stalwart San Miguel!

Ruby Cactus Blossom

Cactus blossom, El Charco del Ingenio, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Why are you amazed
that the brightest flowers bloom,
nestling among thorns?
