So little is said about
those others who
endlessly cross the border
without permission:

lizards slipping under
the new wire

smirking coyote scenting
grouse

brown-gray javelinas
who seem to fancy themselves
lords of every country they set foot on

red-eared sliders who
work the Rio Grande

and always, in that
freedom which seems
to ignore our lines and preoccupations
as angels must ignore them,

always of course the

birds

I’m Catholic, and my wife is Protestant. Here’s what I’ve learned from my ecumenical marriage.
My Catholic identity and my wife’s Protestant identity continue to endure, and our faith has developed together in greater harmony, knowing that our love for each other was ultimately grounded in our love for God.
