Four Poems

ONE

The desert
dunes into
sky. Light,
like the
first time.



TWO

Light bed-ribbons in the room.
Pillow, light-cornered. Throuwindow
outside-day and the heat wafts in waves.



THREE

The white-lighted water pale.
Against the wall, near shade.ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤArizona in the heat.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤThe Juniperㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤfences, branchesㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤthe wind. The sunㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤour only time.



FOUR

In the silence of becoming,
Dusk sunslips behind the mountain.
Birds, black-dot and fly.
Black purple-sets into blue.
Then all.
