Presence
Daybreak in the Sonoran Desert, Yuma County, Arizona.
October morning—
an owl that no one can see
makes its presence known.

A wounded cactus begins to heal in a Phoenix, Arizona backyard.
To all wounded things
blackbird sings a healing song—
new growth soon appears.

winding through the wilderness—
which one should I take?

Finding
Sunset in a smoke-filled sky, Southern Arizona
just before sunset

sixty years ago

Fly
Mountains dominate portions of the Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona.
What if the mountain
were to fly south without you,
blackbird on the wing?

Where
Pacific Ocean yards away from the U.S.-Mexico Border, Border Field State Park, Southern California
Where are the children?
Why does the sea seem to weep
this summer morning?

Carcass
The earth reclaims an old pickup near Dayton, Washington.
While one blackbird sings,
a pickup’s rusting carcass
slumps beside the road.

Cooing
Palo verde tree in bloom at Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
among the blossoms
a hidden dove starts cooing—
distant mountains quake
