Dove
Midsummer sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Little desert dove,
I listen for your singing
sunrise to sunset.

Note
The summer afternoon sky framed by the branches of a dead brittlebush, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Summer afternoon—
a dove on a barren branch
repeats the same note.

Emptied
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Emptied of birdsong,
a low place in the desert
fills with wind and sand.

Settled
Day’s end, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
Little cactus wren,
have you settled for the night
in this lonely place?

Crow

Summer afternoon—
a crow in the tallest palm
jeers at passersby.

Refuge
A pile of stones near Ajo, Arizona
summer afternoon—
some stones provide a refuge
for frightened lizards

Matins
Palo verde tree just before sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
wilderness matins—
a new song spills from your beak,
little desert dove

Lone
Indigo bush, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Lone indigo bush—
not even a mourning dove
clings to its branches.

Untamed
In the distance, Tsé Bitʼaʼí, “Rock with Wings,” rises from the desert floor near Shiprock, New Mexico
afternoon shower—
a crow with an untamed tongue
mocks the passing clouds

Calling
San Juan County, New Mexico
calling endlessly
on the faraway mountain
a dove to her mate
