Yellow butterfly,
the journey’s fraught with danger—
will you be my guide?

Follow
A path leads to distant mountains in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Hearing a blackbird
sing on the misty mountain,
I follow its voice.

clear blue autumn sky—

Where and Why
The Pacific Ocean reaches shore yards away from the U.S.-Mexico Border at Border Field State Park, California.
Where are the children?
Why does the sea seem to weep
as autumn draws near?

Shade
Framed by a tree at St. Thomas Indian Mission Church, Winterhaven, California, a view unfolds of the irrigated farmland in Yuma County, Arizona.
In a spot of shade
I pause for sips of water—
summer’s long journey.
