Find in the Pictures
1. Find in the Pictures
-first line from Cruz del Vigia, Ponce, Puerto Rico
Find in your pictures what you desire
and then
call out their names
with confidence.
Like children who find small creatures,
the images will flood your memory
and wrap themselves
around you.
Find in the pictures what brings you back
to yourself
and the time
you were not waiting
for something to happen.
When you are there,
take hold of
the edges and tug them gently
into the foreground.
Find in the pictures places that sang
your name
without hesitation
or shame
the first moment you arrived.
You are not alone here, yet you are
the only one who sees
that the journey made it
what you desire.
