No Tongues
Cacti and a palo verde tree cast shadows in a courtyard of Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona.
Winter afternoon—
they have no tongues, these shadows,
yet their speech is clear.

Blazing
The chapel at Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona can be seen through a wrought-iron fence.
Blazing midday sun—
the chapel bells are silent,
but one wren still sings.

Blue Monday: Archway
An archway frames the sky at Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona.
An archway that frames the blue sky
Is worth looking for, and here’s why:
It makes the sky seem
To be Van Gogh’s dream,
Enchanting your mind and your eye.

Blue Monday: Meeting Place
Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona.
Here heaven and earth seem to meet,
Although it’s not near any street,
But out in the wild
Where even a child
Can sniff at the air and say, “Sweet!”
