Inspired by Frida Kahlo’s painting
A Russian nesting doll of the universe,
an ethereal green goddess,
holds myself, and my love, the next generation – Diego,
all encompassed by a conjunction of hospitable palms,
one dirt brown, one lively green.
Thorny desert greenery and cacti envelop everything,
a unity of Man and Nature.
Peering behind my shoulder, a shadowy face emerges.
Is God the central layer of this doll,
silently protecting and nurturing?
Diego’s third eye is more radiant than the moon;
the cohesion of flesh and spirit must create
a harmonious peace.
