Pima Canyon

"..thousands watch her briefest dance
but surely this won't last
the hibiscus can't bear cold" – Cold Mountain 7











By firelight we listed to Flamenco Sketches
as the wind behind us blew down
dusty graveyard of stones and Seguaro
and dove into the cool blue pool water
along the perimeter javelina scouted
as the witchy trumpet of Miles cried
up into the pink horizon for audience
close your eyes you'll hear the desert sing
