BETRAYAL

IMG_5289 - Version 2

 

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

 

 

LEAVES

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

 

 

SUNSET

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

 

 

PALO VERDE 2

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

 

 

WPC – Work of Art

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

IMG_8182

 

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.

 

WPC – ‘On the Move’

June 7, 2010

 

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

 

 

On the Move

Flower Friday – Echinopsis 3

With basic implements,
wear a morning burst of pink
for Mother’s Day.

 

 

Echinopsis 2

Bud and bloom, flower
for a day, then sigh—
a man needs many cacti.
