Yesterday
A stray bouquet from a desert cemetery, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
a rough departure
from the grave dug yesterday—
tattered silk bouquet

Tattered
Brittlebush blossoms, early January, Sonoran Desert, Yuma County, Arizona
first days of the year—
only some tattered blossoms
on the brittlebush

Cobweb
Blue window, northern New Mexico
first week of the year—
at the widow’s blue window
a tattered cobweb

Kimono
Salt cedar at dusk, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
her old kimono
tattered by a thousand winds
still glowing at dusk

Birds
August sunset, Southern Arizona
a tattered scarecrow
puts on a new suit of clothes—
palm fronds at sunset
~~ ~~ ~~
enigmatic words
splashed blood-red against the sky—
ravens know the tongue
~~ ~~ ~~
a palm at sunset—
how the sparrows irritate
every thirsty frond
~~ ~~ ~~
gruesome little tales
wagged by pigeon tongues at dusk—
foxes slink away

Seasons
Melange of autumn leaves near the banks of Cache la Poudre River, Fort Collins, Colorado
among the brown ones
a single red maple leaf—
autumn’s tattered texts
in the middle of a book
that the author never ends

Remnants
Brittlebush blossoms, early January, Sonoran Desert, Yuma County, Arizona
There are no blossoms,
except some tattered remnants,
on the brittlebush.

Even in decay
the tattered texts of autumn
tell of summer nights.

Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Arizona
tattered scraps of shade—
enough for weary pilgrims
plodding through the waste
