A monarch butterfly spread its wings as I opened the back door. <\/p>\n
The vitex is still blooming.<\/p>\n
The liriope’s purple flowers never cease to amaze me.<\/p>\n
I’m a good cook. I ate leftover parmigiana for lunch. <\/p>\n
My friends are fabulous. <\/p>\n
Artists are gifts to us. <\/p>\n
My body does what I tell it to do – grateful. <\/p>\n
There is never enough time to do all of the things, but there is time enough to do many things.<\/p>\n
I can live anywhere. <\/p>\n
We are deeply resilient people. <\/p>\n
All of us are giving birth to something right now. <\/p>\n
Every one got a little piece of me today, but I saved the best for last – myself. <\/p>\n
The circus is free. Free I tell you, free. <\/p>\n
El Circo<\/p>\n
From Yin to fullness, a guffaw at the pit
\nof desolation, except you ride, you don\u2019t fall.<\/p>\nBelow as above.
\nSpin as you stand.<\/p>\nThe horse, well, it is an intermediary\u2014
\na form you can speak of, a vernacular of ancestral hues.<\/p>\nThe trees sing with many circled mouths,
\neach mouth an echo inside the blood-sap flesh.<\/p>\nThe arms as galactic instructions,
\nthe branches, the tenfold directions.<\/p>\nEach eye
\neach seed\u2014you tumble, you explode
\nthe only feeling is non-feeling.<\/p>\nCall it joy, call it she-hair,
\nthis negative of all negatives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n~Juan Felipe Herrera<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
