Blue Monday: Winter Afternoon
A few clouds and lots of blue sky make a perfect winter afternoon in Yuma County, Arizona.
Despite a few clouds, the sky shines bright blue.
It’s perfect for all: for me and for you.
Even in winter when walking this land,
Our faces and fingers seem to get tanned.

Madness
Winter afternoon shadows settle near an ironwood tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
waiting for some friends
near a tree that has no leaves—
midwinter madness

Far From the City
Far from the city,
snows and shadows are singing—
foxes find covert.

Nipping
Winter, where are you?
Just over the horizon,
nipping autumn’s heels.

While
While the earth remains,
so will summer and winter,
seedtime and harvest.

Winter
Not even fences
can keep winter from straying
into wild places.
