Blue Monday: Flower
Blue flower: detail of a decorative wreath for sale in a New Mexico gift shop
Flower of cloth with petals of blue,
It never pains me to look at you.
The more I look, the better I feel.
My life must be on an even keel.

Mask
Aztec Ruins National Monument, Aztec, New Mexico
Yellow butterfly,
you rest within the shadows
that mask a stone wall.

Untamed
In the distance, Tsé Bitʼaʼí, “Rock with Wings,” rises from the desert floor near Shiprock, New Mexico
afternoon shower—
a crow with an untamed tongue
mocks the passing clouds

San Juan County, New Mexico
calling endlessly
on the faraway mountain
a dove to her mate

Ploughman
Santa Fe National Cemetery, New Mexico
in a barren field
row upon row of headstones—
the ploughman ploughs deep

Empty
Sunlight through a stained glass window pools on the floor, Sacred Heart Church, Farmington, New Mexico
no music
dislodging silence
empty church
