Blue Monday: Tangles
Tangled branches of a fallen palo verde tree, Yuma County, Arizona
Beyond the tangles, a patch of blue
Catches my eye and gives me a clue
About life’s tangles and how long they’ll last:
In the blink of an eye, they will be past.

Birdsong
Palo verde tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
winter afternoon—
a nearly empty sky fills
with sudden birdsong

Tangled
A palo verde tree lights up at daybreak, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
A tangled tree tells tangled tales.

Matins
Palo verde tree just before sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
wilderness matins—
a new song spills from your beak,
little desert dove

Weekend
Palo verde blossoms, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
~~ 1 ~~
First weekend of spring—
an outcry from a boulder
startles the blind man.
~~ 2 ~~
First weekend of spring—
by reading classics aloud,
she consoles herself.
~~ 3 ~~
first weekend of spring—
beach boys beating their sandals
to rid them of sand
~~ 4 ~~
First weekend of spring—
exhausted, though the surf pounds,
she sleeps on the shore.
~~ 5 ~~
First weekend of spring—
she tries to name the birdsong
that disturbs her sleep.
~~ 6 ~~
First weekend of spring—
a flame in the eastern sky
makes the blind man flinch.

Palo verde tree
Fearing
Palo verde tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
in the tree debris
a tiny hidden creature
fearing for its life
