cornfield stubble
thumbing through
the book of Job
birds of passage
the gentle flutter
of elm leaves

photos in the Zócalo:
only tourists
wear native clothing
darting through
the farmer’s market—
woman with the snail tattoo
- Details
a dragonfly weaves
through tea tree shadows
ancient songline
the freezing desert
blanketed by stars
three dog night
urban creek
cotton ball clouds
reflected in scum

my inaudible fatigue
winter moon
war wind
I grip the first prayer
hometown river moonlight along my forgetfulness
- Details
where rivers meet
memories
and ripples
drifting to sea
the morning after
all these words
sudden storm
headlight beams hold
threads of rain

fall hike
my toddler's hands now
sunflower yellow
missing my father
a blue jay sings on
my window sill
sleepless night
the katydids talking
over each other
