Bunkhouse Alone The De Anza Trail Between Tubac and Tumacacori in Southern Arizona– Images by kenne
Almost A Line of Poetry
Winter’s trees place shadows on the walls.
Leaves pepper the dirt floors
Below broken rafters open to the sky.
Windows and doors missing from their opening.
An old canning jar, hot-pot and boots
Placed in open window, not by chance.
Someone arranged them —
Almost a line of poetry.

On The Elizabeth II Sailing Ship — Images by kenne
In a Corner of the Ship
The old
ship
darkens
his sober face.
Through the open
porthole
he listens
to the sea —
Prelude to
the new.

Jerome, Arizona — Images by kenne
This island in the sky,
an old copper mining town
between Prescott and Sedona,
today supported by tourism,
run by old hippies —
music festivals,
art galleries,
craft stores,
coffee houses,
restaurants —
holders
in due course
of timeless moments
in a sky-island vortex.

Bunkhouse Windows — Images by kenne
Hidden
Under a thick mesquite bosque,
A barbwire fence
Separates
The historic Juan Bautista de Anza trail
From an old
Abandoned building,
Whose cracked adobe walls
And collapsing roof
Provide sunlight and shadow
Through yawning windows
On individual items
Of cowboys past —
Enduring whispers
From a permanent
Desert breeze
Bearing celebratory voices
After a hard day’s ride.
