Blue Monday: Long and Lonesome Road
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?

Watching
Cholla cactus at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
For cactus blossoms
I keep watching and waiting—
a crow watches me.

Sips

Arizona heat—
tall saguaros quench their thirst
with sips of water

Cloudless
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
On a cloudless day
not even crows fill the void
with their raucous songs.

Ocotillo blossoms, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
Shadow, bloom, and thorn—
how complicated the soul
of the wilderness!

Journey
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
We thought we’d take a journey,
We knew not where to go;
We saw a trackless wasteland
With cactuses aglow.
We followed Crow’s directions
From dawn to setting sun,
Until our journey ended
Right where it had begun.

Daggers
A variety of cholla cactus, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
Whetted by the sun,
the cholla’s deadly daggers
keep all foes at bay.
