Blaze
Autumn sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
After the new moon
a blaze in the eastern sky
startles a white dove.

Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
October morning—
a wounded bird takes cover
in a tangled tree.

Shriek
Autumn sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
With a shriek of fright
a dove rises from her nest
and flees toward the sun.

Bearable
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
three notes from a dove
making the desolate way
bearable again

Enough
A late-summer sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Raucous crow, enough!
Disturb the peace no longer,
screeching at your mate!

Bones
“Bones” of a long-dead saguaro cactus, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Desiccated bones—
noisy crow on the mountain,
let them rest in peace!

No respect
Just before an August sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Have you no respect,
crow on the distant mountain,
for the rising sun?
