Enough
A late-summer sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Raucous crow, enough!
Disturb the peace no longer,
screeching at your mate!

Bones
“Bones” of a long-dead saguaro cactus, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Desiccated bones—
noisy crow on the mountain,
let them rest in peace!

No respect
Just before an August sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Have you no respect,
crow on the distant mountain,
for the rising sun?

Glimpse
Midsummer sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Have you waited long
to catch a glimpse of daylight,
little desert dove?

Walt Whitman Would Have Loved It
August sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Walt Whitman would have loved it,
The song I heard at dawn,
A part of the great chorus
That seamlessly goes on:
The singing of a nation
In voices great and small—
Workers in the factories,
And horses in the stall;
Stones in parched and lonely lands,
A bird upon the wing—
When the blazing sun comes up
All things begin to sing.

Scolding
Rugged mountains near Ajo, Arizona
Crow on the mountain,
don’t you ever grow weary
of scolding the stones?

Dove
Midsummer sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Little desert dove,
I listen for your singing
sunrise to sunset.

Flood
August sunrise, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Lonesome little dove,
you flood the desert with song
morning by morning.

Note
The summer afternoon sky framed by the branches of a dead brittlebush, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Summer afternoon—
a dove on a barren branch
repeats the same note.

Emptied
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Emptied of birdsong,
a low place in the desert
fills with wind and sand.
