Buddha says that if we want something,
we open ourselves to the possibility of disappointment
and someone else said we get what we need.
All that I know of women and karma and connectivity
is far too simple for she who now stands before me.
Companion, friend, lover, teacher
big challenge …
I cannot dominate her. I cannot lie or hide from her.
I cannot predict her or take her love and openhandedness
for granted.
And yet, she brings, gives, is
everything I want, without barter.
God, my friend, are you laughing there
where chance and destiny are woven?
Nicaragua, indeed entire continents, await.
Wind in their trees and passion on my pages.
She stands in front of me like elevator shafts
and vertigo.
God’s laughter is kind.
