Fly
Mountains dominate portions of the Sonoran Desert in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Fly on the mountain,
even from such a distance,
you disturb my peace!

Cactus Wren
The chapel at Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona can be seen through a wrought-iron fence.
Noisy cactus wren,
can you outshout the church bells
that now stun the air?

Follow
A path leads to distant mountains in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Hearing a blackbird
sing on the misty mountain,
I follow its voice.

Beyond
Cattle Track Arts Compound, Scottsdale, Arizona contains some interesting buildings.
Beyond my courtyard
I sense the distant mountains
waiting for fresh snow.

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.
