Sunset Over the Sea of Cortez (January 28, 2016) — Image by kenne
The ocean is
the Lucifer of blue.
The sky fallen
for wanting to be light.
Poor ocean, damed
to endless movement,
who once stood still
in the firmament!
But love redeemed you
from your bitterness.
You bore pure Venus,
and your depths were virgin
and felt no pain.
— from “Ocean” by Federico Garcia Lorca

Full Moon Over The Sea Of Cortez (January 25, 2016) Image by kenne
I had a paper moon. Stamped and certified. Mine was
a colonia moon, a barrio moon, a suburban moon. I
knew where I was, where I was supposed to be, where
I was allowed to go, and that was anywhere. We lived
the outhouse moon, the tortilla moon, the channel
12 bullfight Tijuana moon. And then we migrated
north, like monarchs, following the light.
. . . My moon rose over tidy houses.
— from the poem “Codex Luna” by Luis Alberto Urrea
