Palo verde tree in bloom at Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
among the blossoms
a hidden dove starts cooing—
distant mountains quake

Spines and stones in Pinal County, Arizona
in praise of wastelands
she walks a dusty footpath
making up new songs

Grin
Autumn decoration on a grave, Wellton Memorial Cemetery, Wellton, Arizona
With a crooked grin
a scarecrow honors blackbirds
and their many wiles.

Until
Giant palo verde tree in bloom, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
How many blossoms,
how many starlit evenings
until the world ends?

Rising
Dawn lights up a palo verde tree in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
desert heat rising—
a faraway mountain tugs
at the blackbird’s wings

Visions
Late afternoon in the Sonoran Desert, Yuma County, Arizona
Visions of evening—
a dove returns to her nest,
cooing one last song.
