Hush
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
Noisy cactus wren,
won’t you hush up long enough
to see the blossoms?

Desolate places—
something akin to wisdom
lingers in the stones.

Wren
A tree with broken branches near the shores of Willow Lake, Prescott, Arizona
Can the shattered tree,
wren who seeks a nesting place,
hold your featherweight?

Blossom
Saguaro cactus blossoms, Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona
Yellow butterfly,
does the white blossom please you?
Will you settle there?

On a shady walk
a question goes unanswered
until six o’clock.

and a blackbird’s song

Stone ruins at Willow Lake, Prescott, Arizona
One by one the stones

till nothing remains.

Notes
A new day begins, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
long before daybreak
I listened for the dove’s song—
now the first faint notes

Line
Electric lines beside a country road at dawn, Yuma County, Arizona
Somewhere down the line
a conceited rooster thinks
he coaxed up the sun.

Finery
Prickly Poppy (Argemone pleiacantha), Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
in spring finery
a poppy by the wayside
reaches to the sky
