Ocotillo blossoms, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California

Drenched
A ship under full sail, painted on a restaurant door, Puerto Nuevo, Baja California Norte, México
Sometimes letters come,
drenched in salt spray from the sea—
the same old stories.

Catch

entangled in fishing line
I catch the sunrise
with sun-warmed stones as trinkets
I carry the light back home
