The Blue House (La Casa Azul)Frida's Garden
I dream about
Frida Kahlo's garden,
A tropical fantasy
At her Casa Azul
Where sky and sea
Made star crossed lovers
Swell with passion
Fill the earthen beds
With bursts of tumescent
Thorn-armed cactus,
Foamy bougainvillea pink,
Shrieks of fiery canna,
Fragrant orange trees.
Extravagant with
Monkey and parrot.
And shattering too.
The way sorrow breaks
Over a stony shore
And somehow
Brings forth light.
