Not All Orchids & Butterflies

by Katie O'Grady

in Mexico

No,

No, not all parts                                 

of my new life here

are orchids and butterflies—

wouldn’t be that way anywhere

 

But in Mexico,

living full-time

as a legalized permanent resident

and all the promise

and commitment

and responsibility                 
and long-termness that   

that brings

has its moments

that’s for sure…

 

Life

has its moments           

for sure…

they just somehow

seem to have different

edges, and dimensions

here—

some obvious and in your face,

others

subtle and submerged in the color and rhythm of the culture….
