among the blossoms
a hidden dove starts cooing—
distant mountains quake

Wastelands
Spines and stones in Pinal County, Arizona
in praise of wastelands
she walks a dusty footpath
making up new songs

Grin
Autumn decoration on a grave, Wellton Memorial Cemetery, Wellton, Arizona
With a crooked grin
a scarecrow honors blackbirds
and their many wiles.

Blue Monday: Windmill
A windmill no longer used at Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
This windmill, though rusted and worn,
Deserves some attention, not scorn.
It needs a facelift—
Fresh paint is a gift—
And then it’ll shine night and morn!

Sunlight
The sunlight
now flooding the valley
after three weeks
of steady rain with no slits in the
clouds, no patches of light,
must be a sign.
With one hand
I grab my guitar,
with the other
I begin scribbling a tale
about the distant waterfall.
fed by the recent rains,
that keeps thundering into an abyss.
I could have drifted
into darkness,
been swallowed by deep waters,
if sunlight had not
come to the valley again.
This is my tale,
this is my song.
Sing with me.
