Remember long ago
When I’d speak to you
Yet you were not possible
Now you are close
And your arrival is imminent
What will I say to you
Will it be fanciful or silly
Will I ruin the moment
Will I just fall in love
And then…
It all happened
You arrived
It surprised me
I didn’t ruin anything
I wasn’t too silly
I did fall in love
Nothing was as I expected
You are here
You are teaching me all
Strasbourg a new year
The Alsatian air delights
It’s all possible
Vieux Lyon beneath
History just out of reach
Still your eyes I search
Paris early morn
Strolling the streets hand-in-hand
Tour Eiffel beckons
Warm breezes made of joy
Brotherhood of childhood
Parenting that doesn’t stifle
Dark men working hard under a harsh sun
Mankind bare and unresolved
Happiness of celebration for its own sake
Lizards and parrots
Orioles float above it all
Cactus overlook the ocean
Water soothes
Clumsiness in water
Desire to soar
Time is tangible as the waves come and the clouds roll
I close my eyes and try to capture being here
Willemstad, Curaçao
En Cartagena
Uniones se cementan
Dos pueblos viven
Chicago rises
Traffic suddenly picks up
Instantly in love
Chicago
Austin blue in red
Like a hot lower east side
But more desperate
Austin, TX
Sevilla, feliz
España de mis sueños
Casa única
Sevilla
Willemstad colors
As vibrant as its people
Sea breeze and music
Willemstad Harbor Through Window
