1.
Chorus Through My Veins

 


dirty window years

steel wire frames

tree limbs twitch

 

cottontail leaps

the trail pauses

beneath gray sage

 

blue-belly lizard

skitters ahead

 

      heat

 

         waves

 

in and out of my head

F.P., chimpanzee

Letters from Tucson
for David Gitin


 

roadrunner rounds mesquite

branches and thorns sky

 

when I wake it's dark
light coming soon


see you then

      your friend

3.
O My Words

for Luis Garcia


a flute, a reed

 

cut from roots

 

a ring of bone

everyday air

skinny bird song

Palo Verde limbs

cats walk up and down

adobe yellow wall
