Say hello to our little friends. So there we were...in an undisclosed tropical paradise....our long delayed, solitary, all inclusive honeymoon type vacation. It felt good, exotic and strangely a bit dangerous as we relaxed poolside, oceanside, side by side for a week. We almost did not know how to do it at first...but quickly got the hang of it.
White sand and gray bracken
Shoulder a blacktop road
Leading up to and away from
A tongue of rocky beach
Shadowed by the towers of Tulum.
Pane-less portals gape
At deep tossed blue tropical sea
Haven for ancient wind and spirits
Which rule the Earth when we do not.
Flat jungle tangled and twisted
Bleeds down to water’s edge
Like wreckage strewn by
Intangible impacts
In gifts of stormy rage.
From massive heritage of pale blue sky
Hawks circle on high
Sweep wisps of clouds of time as
Weathered petro-glyphs
Say nothing, mean much
Stone hard to my mind
Soft to touch
Bring messages of
The Past.
I wrap my arms around me
Rock forth and back
Like waves on the ocean
And read a solitary sign
From that deserted highway:
GUARDA SU VIDA
Post a watchman at our door
For some unbidden intruder
Invited by the ennui of this age
Seeks to usurp our moneys
Our stones, furs and...
Something more, that inexplicable
Something always more powerful
Greater than...
Sorcery is very strong in this part of
Where stars are more than they are
And man is less than large
La Na Bu Ma Ti Yo Nu Ho
