Arizona Beggarticks Wildflowers — Image by kenne

In the Sonoran Desert
images wait at every turn—
cactus spines, bird wings,
shadows shifting on stone.

And there, unassuming,
Arizona beggarticks bloom,
small suns at ankle height,
flaring yellow against the sand.

Later, their seeds cling tight,
hitchhikers on pant leg and paw,
a quiet insistence
that the desert travels with you,
wherever you go.
