August sunrise in Yuma County, Arizona.
If a blackbird falls
atop the distant mountain,
who will bear witness?

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

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!
