Season by season
the watcher keeps on watching
and a blackbird sings.

Climate
Yucca in bloom, March 2016, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
In this desert climate
Days are getting warm—
Even yucca blossoms
Have become the norm.
But only for a season
Are the flowers bright—
When days begin to sizzle,
All things long for night!
