The Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery with seams of gold is named Kintsugi.  This work is done using a resin to join the broken pieces; afterward, this resin is sprinkled with gold.  Preserving the history of the piece and lending it new character.

estas arrugas

detallando mi vida 
kintsugi oro

like kintsugi gold

narrating my life story

these facial wrinkles

Full December Moon

winter vespers moon
darkest nights looming ahead
pale

cold
long night
moon

moon moon flower moon  
moon full moon full flower moon 
may flower may moon
fifth month moon full flower moon
full flower moon fills may full

over fresh green grass

under the cool shade of trees

my four dogs napping

little almond treee

timidly showing new buds

soon to be splendor
