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.

among the blossoms
a hidden dove starts cooing—

Dreamers
Detail from a mosaic on a community wall, Ajo, Arizona
Through the wilderness
a family of dreamers
hastens hand in hand.

but who will fill it?

Dance
Saguaro cacti, Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona
Fasting and praying,
she draws near the ancient ones—
they bid her to dance.

Unicorns
Unicorn Plant (Proboscidea althaeifolia), Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
In secret places,
far from prying ears and eyes,
the unicorns graze.

Seven Circles
Sacred Heart Church, Farmington, New Mexico
~~ 1 ~~
golden the glowing
driving darkness from my door
holy the circle
~~ 2 ~~
on a mountain ridge
drawing a simple circle
she protects herself
~~ 3 ~~
one fragile bubble
burning in circles of light—
there will be weeping
~~ 4 ~~
a circle of stones
rare as forgotten language
beckoning me near
~~ 5 ~~
in the next canyon,
a spacious place for camping—
cottonwood circle
~~ 6 ~~
black cat dips one paw
into circles of sunshine
on the kitchen floor
~~ 7 ~~
The sunflower ants,
dizzy with nectar, stagger
in circles of light.
