San Carlos Sunset   Leave a comment

San Carlos, Sonora Sunset — Image by kenne

We become a silhouette in each other’s arms
as the sun goes down behind us in San Carlos—
the light withdrawing slowly
like a hand from a blessing.

All afternoon the Sea of Cortez
glittered without mercy.

I can’t see your face anymore,
only the outline of us—
two dark figures pressed together
against the last blaze of day.

It feels ancient, this vanishing—
as if love is something
the sun teaches by leaving.

The Sun Sinks Into It’s Own Silence   2 comments

Couple Watching the Sunset on the Sea of Cortés Shore in Puerto Peñasco — Image by kenne

The sun sinks into its own silence.
No myth, no god—just heat and gravity
doing their patient work.
The couple, small in the vast geometry,
watch without speaking,
and for once
the scale feels right:
love and ocean,
each immense,
each ending.

Willet stands patient,

Sea of Cortés tide whispering,

feet sink into dusk.

Puerto Peñasco, Sonora Water Front — Photo-Artistry by kenne

Puerto Peñasco, Rocky Point, is a Mexican fishing and resort city on the Sea of Cortes. It’s known for dune-backed Sandy Beach
and Bahía la Choya’s tidal pools. The Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans has gardens and a fin-whale skeleton.
Rocky Point is often called “Arizona’s beach” because it is close in proximity to Arizona and easy to get to rather quickly.

3/12/86/ #3   I asked my dad why he didn’t worship Ricky Ricardo,
who was Latin, instead of Ward Cleaver who was white.
     Because Ricky Ricardo is not Mexican. He’s Cuban.
     But Ward Cleaver’s not Mexican.
     No, but he’s not Cuban.
     And that was that.

Goal: Clean air, clean clear-running rivers, the presence
of Pelican and Osprey and Gray Whale in our lives;
salmon and trout in our streams; unmuddied language and good dreams.
