Midway Blues

The forest burned
Above the steam
Hot red and orange
What once was green

Some get the blues
They can’t condone
The forest stripped
To barest bone

Red Velvet

When I’m hungry
All I can see is food

Like today, in this dry desert heat
With only the apples from yesterday
A can of baked beans, for a campfire dinner
And tomorrow morning’s apple-cinnamon oatmeal

Tenacity

The tenacity
With which life
Clings to life
Inspires me

A trick of the tail

There was something feline
In the way she looked at me

Graceful intensity
Un-self-conscious confidence
Self-conscious presence

A stillness in her
Like the stutter between stalking steps
Like the moment before the pounce

Bringing Fire

In the morning light
The hoodoos rise
Bringing fire
To the canyon

Creating the Impossible

I keep in my heart
In my mind
In my spirit

The possibility
Of the impossible

Disturbed

Mountains
Ablaze
Smoking

Flight
Water
Fighting

Red Sky and Rainbow

Red Sky and Rainbow
Bringing much needed rainfall
To Alberta badlands
And dinosaur bones

Zabriskie Point

When water runs
It eats away the earth
Cutting facets
Like crystal
Above the dry valley
They call Death

Bryce Canyon Hoodoos

Sometimes
No words
Are forthcoming

Some images
Must be allowed
To speak for themselves
