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

To a quiet place
I come with my empty cup,
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.

Smudging
Brittlebush in bloom, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
Brittlebush blossoms—
who can eclipse their beauty
by smudging the light?
