Now she is upon us, and we go to rest for the night
as birds in the tree.

Mixtos VI - Tierra, mar, y cielo
Tierra, mar, y cielo
es lo que tenemos.
Es lo que somos.
Earth, sea, and sky
is what we have.
It is what we are.

Gymniad XII
Grabbing my camera,
I head out to the deck.
Buffeted by the wind,
I photograph the dawn.
There is only the sun,
the ocean, and me,
and we are all naked.
