Sonoran Sunrise Over The Rincon Mountains — Image by kenne

Sonoran Sunrise

The mountains drink fire.
Saguaro stand tall 
blessing the dawn.

Ocotillo bleeds light,
fingers trembling
in the pale wind.

The sun—
golden blades—
cut the sky
wide open.

Silence spills
into flame.

And the desert,
old, dreaming,
remembers its heart—
burning,
always burning.
