Quiet
Weathered and faded headstone decorations at twilight, Wellton Memorial Cemetery, Wellton, Arizona
even the ravens
quiet their clattering tongues—
women in mourning

Landscape
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
A greasy residue in this hellish landscape ignites her anger.
~~ ~~ ~~
over the mountain
conspiracies of ravens
plotting their next moves

Way
Spring sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
In the wilderness
not even ravens may tell
if the way is right.

Lava
Hardened lava flow, Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, Northern Arizona
When the ravens cry,
lava hardens into stone—
wings fall from the gnat.

Crumbling
Clifton, Arizona
Whether brick or stone,
all edifices crumble—
preening ravens gloat.

Wednesday’s Ravens
Cheese and bread and wine—
we dig into the hamper,
ravens eye the crumbs.
~~ ~~ ~~
Women in aprons
pulverize the cobblestones—
ravens peck the dust.
~~ ~~ ~~
Three ravens taunt me,
perched high in the cottonwood—
brittle summer song.
