Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
In midsummer’s heat
some dowdy old sunflowers
put on their last show.

Bees
Bee visiting a poppy in bloom at Mission San Juan Capistrano, Southern California
From bees of either gender
I tend to run and hide.
I fear that they will harm me
The longer I’m outside.
Indoors, away from stingers,
I find a book or two
To while away the daylight,
Until the bees are through.

Flung
Sunflower at daybreak, Southern California
Someone flung these stars
across the meadow at dawn—
bees claw at their hearts.

Incense
Ironwood (Olneya tesota) in bloom, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Never uprooted,
ancient ironwood still blooms—
sweet desert incense.
