Deserted
Aztec Ruins National Monument, Aztec, New Mexico
deserted village—
seven inns of happiness
crumble in the wind

Blaze
Animas River near Cedar Hill, San Juan County, New Mexico
Autumn by autumn
a blaze along the river
outshines every sun.

Clouds
Near Grants, New Mexico
storm clouds gathering—
perhaps the desert will drink
just before sundown

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.

Crow
El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico
Crow in the pine tree,
will you ever stop mocking
what you can’t explain?

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

Calling
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
