Three Haiku as Autumn Deepens
1.
raking fallen leaves—
my ceremony to heal
the wounds of autumn
2.
a distant mirage—
the languid days of summer
when we sipped iced tea
3.
My dwelling’s empty,
so come, corn pollen laughter,
come, O mountain song!

Mist
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Mist on the mountain—
a blackbird seeking its nest
starts to go astray.

How
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
How many mountains
does it take to keep a cloud
from falling to earth?

Song
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
They tell the story
of how, on distant mountains,
one dove left her song.

Distant
Peering through a palo verde tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Winter afternoon—
so distant are the mountains
I cannot see them.

Way
On the shore of Upper Lake Mary, Coconino National Forest, Arizona

or lakes high in the mountains—
