Desert Abundance
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
In a desert place
a twisted, broken willow
murmurs to the stars.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
The desert’s abundance may not be in fruit,
But rather in clouds or in owls that can hoot,
Or maybe in rattlers that slither and slide,
Or in the great thermals on which the hawks glide.
The stones are abundant, and so is the sand
Wherever you look in a dry, barren land.
It’s not as though nothing filled up the spaces
In the world’s wild and desolate places!

Blue Monday: No Geese in the Sky
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
There aren’t any geese in the sky,
There’s only a cloud flying by—
A beautiful day
To work or to play
Or maybe to get some shuteye!

Mist
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Mist on the mountain—
a blackbird seeking its nest
starts to go astray.

How
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
How many mountains
does it take to keep a cloud
from falling to earth?

Reverence
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
Hearing a blackbird
call from the distant mountain,
I fall to my knees.

Journey

a three-day journey
with my crooked walking stick—

Where
Pacific Ocean yards away from the U.S.-Mexico Border, Border Field State Park, Southern California
Where are the children?
Why does the sea seem to weep
this summer morning?
