Haunted
Owls often roost by day in this tangled palo verde tree in Yuma County, Arizona.
After Thanksgiving,
I visit places haunted
by the desert owls.

Celebrate
Fading bougainvillea blossoms have been tossed on a trash heap in Wellton, Arizona.
Can I truly celebrate
When the brilliant blossoms fade?
Can this heart of mine rejoice
When such folly is displayed?
Yet even as they’re fading,
And although they cannot sing,
The blossoms clearly show me
Life on Earth’s a fragile thing.

Curtains
Morning light washes over a hillside home in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Photo watermarked by Photobucket, because I refused to pay for image hosting, which used to be free!
Behind white curtains
the young lieutenant’s widow
salts her tea with tears.

Ablaze
Autumn colors blaze along the Animas River near Cedar Hill, San Juan County, New Mexico.
Autumn by autumn
the riverine cottonwoods
set themselves ablaze.

Briefly
Colorful autumn leaves in California’s Inyo National Forest will soon be dashed to the ground by snow.
clear blue autumn sky—
great joy, albeit briefly,
before the first snow

Drifts
A woman heads for home after her morning shopping in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Midsummer journey—
a woman among shadows
drifts toward morning light.

Pond
An apartment building overlooks a tranquil pond at the Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.
What if I should see
my reflection in the pond?
Would I know myself?

Shade
Framed by a tree at St. Thomas Indian Mission Church, Winterhaven, California, a view unfolds of the irrigated farmland in Yuma County, Arizona.
In a spot of shade
I pause for sips of water—
summer’s long journey.
