Tools
Gardening tools at Micke Grove Regional Park, Lodi, California.
The gardener’s tools
wait without knowing they wait
to be used again.

Finding
Sunset in a smoke-filled sky, Southern Arizona
just before sunset
finding the young me I lost
sixty years ago

Blackbird, O Blackbird
~~ ~~ 1 ~~ ~~
Blackbird, O blackbird,
at midnight in the garden,
who can see your wings?
~~ ~~ 2 ~~ ~~
Blackbird, O blackbird,
even the water trembles
when you start to sing.
~~ ~~ 3 ~~ ~~
Blackbird, O blackbird,
do you prefer the cypress
over the white rose?
~~ ~~ 4 ~~ ~~
Blackbird, O blackbird,
how many songs overflow
from your handsome throat?
~~ ~~ 5 ~~ ~~
Blackbird, O blackbird,
tell me what I need to know
to make your path mine.
~~ ~~ 6 ~~ ~~
Blackbird, O blackbird,
I search the chapel rooftop—
will I find you there?

Greening
An ocotillo sports new green leaves after recent monsoons in the Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Southern Arizona.
In the midday heat
a greening ocotillo
offers little shade.

Fly
Mountains dominate portions of the Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona.
What if the mountain
were to fly south without you,
blackbird on the wing?

Broken saguaro,
how long will you keep standing
before I break too?

Sizzling
A summer day begins, Yuma County, Arizona.
Sizzling summer day—
the white dove will keep singing,
though humans grumble.

Summer sunrise in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
Early in the month
a door in heaven opens,
letting light spill out.
