Peace
“Bones” of a long-dead saguaro cactus, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
Hush your scolding, crow!
Leave these bleaching bones in peace
for eternity.

Broken
A dead saguaro cactus, Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Southern Arizona.
Broken saguaro,
how long will you keep standing
before I break too?

Sips

Blue Monday: Saguaro Blossoms
Saguaro cactus blossoms, Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona
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.

Desiccated bones—
noisy crow on the mountain,
let them rest in peace!
