Sunsets, Photographs and Pensamientos.

Some things that have been on my mind, a mix of inner ponderings, struggles and discoveries and the way I fall in love with the landscape here, and how I deal with that.

Sunsets, Photographs and Pensamientos

Copan and San Pedro Sula

And yes,

it was a sunset;

the hidden sun

mirrored by blinding clouds

creating shadows;

off setting its otherwise

overpowering illumination.


Oversized trees

with cement synonymous roots

edging their way

up, around and through.


Soft hills flowing into

mini mountains that seem so

conquerable from afar.


I said, what about that one?

the largest one leering in the distance

with the coca cola sign in the middle.


I wanted to capture it

I wanted to take a picture

but I didn’t;

too late, I did;

by that time;

diesel fume colored clouds

were taking my place

on the top;

obscuring any kind of a sign


and then, demasiado;

de-mass-iado;

tan demasiado para me.


There will always be more you know,

every day another kind of sun sets

behind, around and above

that same kind of mountain.


Well; today it seemed

another expansive mystery,

the gray clouds remained,

the top I still could not see

but the once unknown

florescent fushia reflections punched

through their nemesis blackness

and made quite a place for themselves,

quite a place indeed.
