Costa Rica
In this world of wonder where I reside
Mountains soar to caress the azure sky
Forests surge from lowland to mountain side
And rivers of gold flow to silver seas
The gentle land to glorify
“Honey,
musn’t be blue.
It’s not so much do what you like
as it is that you like what you do.”
–James Lapine
Sunday in the Park with George
Our Town
“Our Town is not offered as a picture of life in a New Hampshire village, or as a speculation about the conditions of life after death (that element I merely took from Dante’s Purgatory.) It is an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life.” –Thornton Wilder
In Ciudad Colon
The symphony of insects explodes at night.
The cocinera chops the papaya she’s gathered.
The writer ghost hovers with sad memories.
The jardinero picks green and yellow limones by the bridge.
Red breasted birds sing throated concerts. By day,
perfumed flores camouflage mariposa.
–from my upcoming book Banshees
