Breach
Apache County, Northern Arizona
walking the fence line
with clouds my sole companions—
a breach in the sky

Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
afternoon shadows
I love them too much to think
the moon will melt them

ripe with birdsong

Barbed
November sunset, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Fleeing their homeland,
a mother and three children
move from star to star—
four hundred yards from freedom,
barbed fencing crushes their dream.

Beacon
Old Point Loma Lighthouse, Cabrillo National Monument, San Diego, California
old beacon
hailing all strangers ~
mind the land*
three come sailing in at dusk
spirit, mystery, and flesh

Strawhead’s Eyes
Scarecrow in the organic garden, National Botanic Gardens, Dublin, Ireland
wind jostles the scarecrow
near the heavy-hung cornstalks
the summer is spent*
three crows that followed Jesus
have pecked out old strawhead’s eyes

Snooze
Neglected fence at sundown, Temecula, California
The old cat Evening
curls under a barbed-wire fence
for a little snooze.

Absent
Discarded barbed wire, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
rusting barbed-wire strand
snaking through the wilderness—
an absent fence post

Petal

If you have no star,
then wish upon a petal—
wee ones know it works.
