Deepest Wisdom (For Melina)

Keeping my heart door open is difficult
I'm a resistant prospect and
keep trying to close it.
My heart knows better and
keeps a foot in it,
an ardent salesman,
with a special today
on love.
                   ...
 Asking you to marry me
was my deepest wisdom

Living with you now
is my deepest wisdom

Remaining with you always
will be my deepest wisdom.

Out the Window

Under the Madia,
beneath the Agave's spiny pad,
(Agave parryi truncata)
on the broad lip of it's planter,
a frog!
