Our trip to Cuba
was filled
with wandering,
and marvel at
the beautiful
coastline,
untouched,
natural in beauty,
and gratitude
for the
people,
the artisans
we met,
their art,
clay vases
they accented
with paint
and thin rope
and any other
scarce material
to be found.

This vase
discovered
at an outdoor
market in
Santiago de Cuba,
is honored doubly
back in the States,
in colored pencil.
