Abandoned Bunkhouse Windowsill — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Windowsills hold many stories,
Some we may know, most go untold.
Hiking trails near the Rio Santa Curz,
A broken barbwire fence guarded
An old adobe structure in a grove
Of common mesquite trees
Whose shadows form a matrix
Across the wintering landscape
Adding to a scene locked in the past
Waiting to be unlocked in a story.
Now I must turn and go back
Following the footsteps of the Pima.

Ghost of Desert Past
Standing high
on canyon’s edge,
the ghost of desert past
stands watch.
Resisting harsh winds,
while chiming to the beat,
of erratic gusts that
threaten passersby
hiking Phoneline Trail.
For hundreds of years
this canyon sentinel
maintains its charge.
Like old soldiers,
not to die,
only fading into time past,
already meeting with the
“vanished ones.”
