Somewhere
The gritty backside of Historic Downtown Yuma, Arizona
Little brown sparrow,
from somewhere in the shadows
you sing notes of joy.

making the desolate way

long before daybreak

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

the storm-flute player—
so many songs are woven
from notes of thin rain
