Sky
The sky is bold and beautiful in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona .
Languid afternoon—
with my fingertips I trace
the clouds on your face.

Sunset
A December sunset dances through the sky of the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
As they cook supper,
no one in the homeless camp
admires the sunset.

Changes
On a wintry day in the Sonoran Desert, storm clouds form in the east.
Winter afternoon—
one dove falling from the clouds
changes everything.

Song
Sunrise in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
The song of a dove
slips through some tangled branches
toward the rising sun.

Cry
Autumn sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
With a cry of joy
a dove rises from her nest
and wings toward the sun.

Lullaby
Sunset in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
To the setting sun
a dove sings a lullaby
she has learned by heart.

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