Piping
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
a dove keeps piping
beyond the distant mountains
endless notes of joy

A new day begins, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
long before daybreak
I listened for the dove’s song—
now the first faint notes

Off
An abandoned and weathered flip-flop, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
following the notes
from a shaman’s bamboo flute
she slips off her shoes

Snuggling
Palo verde tree at daybreak, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
the low moan of notes
coaxing light to come again—
Kokopelli’s flute
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
a handful of stars
snuggling into the treetop
for a long day’s nap

Woven
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
the storm-flute player—
so many songs are woven
from notes of thin rain

Groping
Eggshell from a squab (or squeaker) hatched in November, Southern Arizona
I hear you speak
waves tumble half a world away
conch’s song*
groping blindly for the notes
a squeaker escapes its shell
