Meditation 6
After a midday cloudburst
one shallow puddle
reflects
curvy whiskers and
ticklish ear tufts
of a lithe bobcat
jade eyes
mirror
bobbing quail
peck a name
in sand
Meditation 7
A chromatic sea
gasps
roars & groans
spews her swollen
opaque belly
on shore
as darkness
rubs buoyant
luminescent foam sleeves
on sand
Meditation 8
The slivered moon
illuminates
a bobcat’s intricate
facial stripes
summons
the spirit keeper home
among
shrill cicadas
elusive owls &
swarming bats
Arizona-Mexico Border
Tensions
in concertina barbed wire
detonate ground and gravel
beneath boots
Hands
torn like sheets of crepe paper
dried by lavender wind
scratch skin
morning and night
Faces
hidden from the moon and the moon’s shadow
stretch across vast fields abandoned by all hint of water
Sweat alone recognizes itself
on long overdue
bonds scraped together
by a thirst for rest
silence
peace
