Early morning light brightens a cluster or organ pipe cacti and an ocotillo just starting to bloom at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona.
 


Welcome, Sister Sun!
I have been waiting for you
through the long, cold night.

Blue Monday: Cholla

DSC_0063 (1)
A bright blue sky highlights a variety of cholla cactus, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona.
 
 

A cholla perks up when the sky
Turns blue as an iris—but why?
I’m not sure I know,
But surely it’s so,
And that’s good enough—it’s no lie!

Blue Monday: Long and Lonesome Road

DSC_0117 (2)
An unpaved road waits for adventurers at at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona.
 


They say the best roads are out West,
And that those who take them are blest.
But if they get lost,
There’s such a high cost,
Why bother with getting so stressed?

For cactus blossoms
I keep watching and waiting—
a crow watches me.

tall saguaros quench their thirst
with sips of water

not even crows fill the void
with their raucous songs.
