Hush
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
Noisy cactus wren,
won’t you hush up long enough
to see the blossoms?

On a road less traveled
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
On a road less traveled
I took my trusty bike,
Hoping that I’d see a snake
Or something else I like.
But that road less traveled
Made both my tires go flat,
So I sat beside the road
And fiddled with my hat.

three days without sun—
even the distant mountains
seem to be mourning

Passing
Barrel cactus blossoms, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
As December ends,
even the cactus blossoms
lament its passing.
