“Let me absorb this thing. Let me try to understand it without private barriers.
When I have understood what you are saying, only then will I subject it to my own scrutiny
and my own criticism” This is the finest of all critical approaches and the rarest.”
― from The Log from the Sea of Cortez by John Steinbeck

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.

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
