Blessings
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Clifton, Arizona
From hands stained with grace
to those whose need is greatest,
seven blessings flow.

Gates
Clifton, Arizona
sagging gates—
behind them a dog
worries bones

Sweeping
Second-story porches on a back street, Clifton, Arizona
Sweeping the sky,
she hopes for a cloudburst
to purge her porch.

Stirring Love
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Clifton, Arizona
Had you a teabowl,
Lady of the sacred heart,
would you stir in love?

Crumbling
Clifton, Arizona
Whether brick or stone,
all edifices crumble—
preening ravens gloat.

Slow Death
Old mowing machine, Clifton, Arizona
slow death by rusting
neglected mowing machine
after the harvest

Neglected
Clifton, Arizona
Neglected garden—
peering through the sagging gate
an old woman weeps.

in the hermit’s cave
fragrant sandalwood incense
