"The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico), Me, Diego, and Mr. Xolotl," by Frida Kahlo, 1949.
Warm sand
crackle of shells underfoot
fresh fish, rotting seaweed
live clams in net bags draped dockside
flap-flap of fresh tortillas
pepper sting of salsa
cold Pacificos
music from the thatched hut bar
barely audible buzz of sand flies
Fuchsia-covered walls
large rooms with wooden floors
and ceiling fans that stir warm moist air
yellow-brown lizards moving with the sun
flicking in and out of the shade
butterfly kisses
language that does not need words
