Croagh Patrick

barefoot
climb of penance,
banishing his own snakes --
he steps through the grey mist to find
himself.

Cinco de Mayo

Tissue
paper flowers
my daughter made in school,
warm tortillas -- Mexican for
a day.

Aquarium Dreams

Water
lapping against
the glass display window,
a sea lion swims upside down,
eyes shut.
