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

short sleeves light green coat
beckons from the hall closet
this first day of spring

winter gray and wind 

bare limbs silently swaying...

naked trees.... waiting

Shattered illusions

Silk fan languidly swaying

Shadowing slow tears

these social networks
keep me constantly busy
vacation needed

beneath autumn sun
little lizards hide away
mossy greens and rocks

urban decoupage
glistening on wet pavement
brownish autumn leaves

little granddaughter
illuminates this old life
today she turns eight

limberly swaying
dancing in the summer wind
slender young tree

my grandson matthew
revolutionized my life
ten years old today

crystal winter morn
within the almond blossoms
birdsong

early winter morn
above mountain pass
a crow
black, gray and snow

hybernation
senses barely awaken
ebb of winter

another sunday
of one hundred degree heat
far away...thunder


otro domingo
con calor de cien grados
...truenos lejanos

his welcome back kiss...

two days apart still too long

warm summer evening

our son and his bride

exchanged wedding vows today

summer solstice

summer solstice

marriage of heaven and earth

our son and his bride

lunchtime show

ladybug running amok

on my windshield

washing the patio

fixing lights preparing for

our son's june wedding

roadside

a dead crow

its feathers look like waving

in the summer wind

sudden thunder

mild sun and summer rain

petrichor

truenos súbitos

sol y lluvia estival

petrichor
