Too tame to survive
the last day of the season
but with careful luck.

Errant gods return
to paint earth and sky, bring
dark light after dry.

Fence posts and barbed wire:
obstacles for honest people,
may their tribe increase.

Blurs that stir the heart
banked in brush without a shot
for another day.

They shiver after
making love on a dead branch
facing the future.

Who are these people
who can’t see beyond their bills
stirring up sand flies?

Summer harbinger:
a lightning strike beckoning
red shiny engines.

Blooming immigrants
among common fiddleneck—
new color for spring.

Here but a moment,
no time to light on laurels—
fly until you die.

SIGN OF SOMETHING

Posted on September 7, 2015 by | 12 comments

 
The pair of eagles
returning early to ride
our foothill thermals

elicits surprise:
‘what do they know that we don’t?’
we agree to say.

No water, no place
to fish in a four-year drought—
it must be something.
