Quiet

Dead sparrow lays quiet,

his fellows pass

the mourning in silence.

Procreation

A prickle pear 

loses a limb

to mother 

another prickle pear.

Offering

Under the paloverde, 

shadows 

dance for us all.

B.F.M.

Rough Edges

Even the barrel cactus
with its wicked hooked spines
blooms to give nectar.

B.F.M.

Gathering Dust

Some lives pass

like an abandon

pink mobile home 

where

the Sonoran wind kicks

dust through creaking

doors then slams it shut.

So many wildflowers in the Sonoran Desert. The monsoon season brings them out; it's a lovely surprise for the uninitiated here in the Tucson area. Enjoy.

Remember what your mother said: share.
