We know their fathers
and their mother’s mother.
We send you their children.

Just a wall of leaves endure
between us and endless realms
without rules.

WATER

Black and brazen, the crows light close
to harvest nests in this speck of green
upon miles of dry and dusty brown as if

they own it—as if they labored here.
After last year’s cherry crop, Golden
Orioles homestead the Palo Verde tree.

In a patch of yellow monkeyflowers,
cottontails and quail cue up at the leaky
water trough, not a drop goes to waste.

A volunteer Buckeye
and high-tech remnant
find light in the garden.

Barstow transplant
likes its water, blooms high
into the last evening light.

Our short moment at dawn
from a long evolution
of spine and bone.

PALO VERDE

Limbs heavy with yellow
petals bumbling with bees,
empty shade beneath.

YOU AND I

With all time, the wild waits
and watches for weakness
to erase our track—

 

each and every pending joy
prolonged in one place
beneath the sky

 

swallowed up, overgrown,
like it was before
it trained us, you and I.

WILD WATCHING

IMG_8152

 

Not many left who care
to see the dance, a flash
of flesh beneath her leaves,

she teases him when he’s not
watching hawks and deer—
well before you ever get there.

WPC – ‘On the Move’

Nothing static, just
forces of speed and time
to pick up the pieces.

 

 

On the Move
