Summer
Summer
drew us away
from grief at dusk
as a courteous host
draws his guest
into the light
offering drinks
dinner
and conversation.
Who would want
to escape
such grace?
Only a moth
perhaps
with a broken wing.

blackbird by herself
celebrating morning light—
the tilt of her wing

Sunrise
A new day begins, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Just before sunrise
a mourning dove fluffs her wings
for the day’s first flight.

Rustling
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
just before sunrise
a rustling in the branches—
white dove lifts one wing

Blackbird
Our Lady of the Dust, Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona
Blackbird on the wing,
how many songs of sorrow
are there yet to sing?

Earthward
A tuft of feathers, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Its left wing broken,
the songbird plummets earthward—
one last brilliant note.
