Despair
Morning twilight, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
not a breath of wind
to hasten the sun’s rising—
teacup leaks despair

Swing
May twilight, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
imagine a swing
hanging from the stoutest branch—
one child flying high

Kudzu
First morning light, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
in the kudzu fields
half a continent away
how green the morning

Beyond
Indigo bush at sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
What the trees whisper
in a language beyond words
no mere tongue can tell.

Brushed
Twilight, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
canvas of the sky
brushed with clouds and withered leaves—
the shape of twilight
~~ ~~ ~~
howling at daybreak
pack of restless coyotes
slouching toward the sun

Welcoming
Late summer twilight, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
welcoming twilight
as though it were an old friend
coming for supper

Clearing
Late summer twilight, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
clearing the flyway
for every star in waiting
crow’s persistent cry

Worship
Globe Mallow seedhead at twilight, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
wilderness at dawn
no one bowing in worship
before the ripe seeds

Perhaps
Globe Mallow at twilight, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Perhaps the tortoise
needs the mallow’s flickering
to find its way home.

even tiny broken things
are murmuring truth
