Hush your scolding, crow!
Leave these bleaching bones in peace
for eternity.

Broken saguaro,
how long will you keep standing
before I break too?

Saguaros do not bloom at night;
In daytime they’re ever so bright.
Against a blue sky
They dazzle the eye—
O what a magnificent sight!

Blue Monday: Saguaro Forest

Saguaro cactus “forest,” Pinal County, Arizona
  


Saguaros stand guard through the night,
Ensuring the desert’s all right,
So when morning comes
(Without roll of drums)
The landscape appears calm and bright.
