put on their last show.

Breath
Detail from a painting in a Yuma County, Arizona church.
Grandpa’s wooden chair—
the breath of a startled cat
lingers on the seat.

mixed with blackbird’s song

Haiku My Heart: Faint Is My Path
Unrelenting sun bears down on every living thing at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
With no walking stick,
how distant seem the mountains
and how faint my path!

A rather battered Virgin of Guadalupe watches over a grave at Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona.
How will you prepare
for the flight that has no end,
blackbird, O blackbird?

A ruined stone wall overlooks Willow Lake, Prescott, Arizona.
Rattler whom I dread,
will you strike me as I walk
among the ruins?

Walk
A lone shoe would, if it could, walk to find its missing mate.
It is not yet dawn
and already the old shoe
clamors for a walk.

Lullaby
Sunset in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
To the setting sun
a dove sings a lullaby
she has learned by heart.

Window
A surrealistic painting of a winter sky adds a dash of mystery to the wall of a home in Yuma, Arizona.
Wide-open window—
a magpie on the mountain
seems to know my name.
