Betrayed
Fallen bougainvillea bracts, Southern California
Who betrayed these bracts,
tossing them into the grass
to fade and wither?

Uncertainty
Jardín de las Rosas, Morelia, Michoacán, México
Sitting on the fence
uncertainty gnaws at him—
hungry little mouse.

Only for an Hour
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Psalm 103:15-16, King James Version
Only for an hour
blossoms tame or wild flower,
then they fade away.

Sizzling desert light—
shifting shadows writhe and dance,

Seven Springs Ago
Seven springs ago
I knelt in awe and wonder
where bright flowers bloomed.
Where bright flowers bloomed,
I worshiped as a pilgrim,
seeking holy signs.
Seeking holy signs,
I felt as though a feather
had swept clean my soul.
