Cistern at an abandoned house, Southern Arizona
 


the puddles on the pavement
carry the moon, the stars
and cherry blossoms

Who shall sing to the cistern
of all the things it has lost?

pure honey of grace
in the daily quietude
of an empty house

Someone passed this way,
hoping to find one snowflake
near a grain of sand.

evanescent streams
flowing through the desert sky—
