Always inspired by Baja's beauty, this is what we do in the Jeep (our trusty set of wheels now referred to as "La Bestia")...
The bump-bump rhythm
Haikus flow like horchata
We dig the dirt roads
Saw a scorpion
Life and death: Ephemeral
Let go or be dragged
It is ten o’clock
Do you know where your mules are?
Get your ass to bed
Rocks are hot today
We found a green oasis
Agua es vida
Chamacas have it:
Intellect and savoir faire
They will save us all
Summer in Baja
Awake the cara cara
Arroyos run dry
Still cardon forests
Wings dry in the dusty sky
Zopalotes perch
Talking to myself
There are no sharks in this bay
Fear is a mirage
Guess which Living Roots character?
La Muchachita
Loves when they say, “Entonces…”
She knows how to laugh
Alma en Baja
It’s “y porque?” time again
Knows how to smile
Our Virgo Mama
Te con leche y miel
She knows translation
Beautiful! I love the infusion of English and Spanish language in these haikus! Your merging words emerge an imagery ever more powerful and passionate!
