Buoyed by Grace

Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Imagine a tree
tortured, twisted and tattered
but buoyed by grace.

Imagine

Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Imagine mountains
swimming in crimson rivers—
naked stars take flight.

Deadly Red

Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
parched and barren sands
as far as my eyes can see—
deadly smudge of red

Who
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Who has seen the wind
snaking through the lizards’ home?
Who can track its scent?

Seven Crossroads

Start your odyssey!
Quit standing at the crossroads,
looking small and lost.
~~ ~~ ~~
She could not predict
how standing at the crossroads
would contort her life.
~~ ~~ ~~
Why aren’t you singing
while standing at the crossroads?
Did you tie your tongue?
~~ ~~ ~~
To give thanks to God
while standing at the crossroads
is a sign of faith.
~~ ~~ ~~
She sang her heart out
while standing at the crossroads,
and then she moved on.
~~ ~~ ~~
Letting her flute sing
while standing at the crossroads—
mournful little tunes.
~~ ~~ ~~
We can make a life
of standing at the crossroads,
but it won’t go far.

Daybreak San Miguel

Early Sunday morning, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
Daybreak San Miguel—
I listen to the silence,
hidden cricket chimes.

Empty buildings, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Blue Banderas

Banderas festoon a street, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
Anybody there
would know the blue banderas
fluttered tales of grace.

With My Eyes Obscured

Painting at Fábrica La Aurora San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
With my eyes obscured,
how can I see clearly now?
Blackbird calls my name.

Savaged Places
Lush, fragrant gardens
spring up from savaged places
only in our dreams.
