Liquid Gold
sun-kissed skin of drizzled honey glows
golden strands ripple like liquid gold
mimicking the waltzing wind ~
laughter spills from her lips
amidst a sprawling sea of poppies
swaying to an invisible rhythm…

Hiking Esperero Trail In the Spring (Santa Catalina Mountains) –Image by kenne
In each line’s strange syllable: she awakes
as a gull, torn
between heaven and earth.
I accept her, stand with her face to face.
—in this dream: she wears her dress
like a sail, runs behind me, stopping
when I stop. She laughs
as a child speaking to herself:
“soul = pain + everything else.”
I bend clumsily at the knees
and I quarrel no more,
all I want is a human window
in a house whose roof is my life
–Marina Tsvetaeva

Poppies are Popping In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
I dream of a quiet man
who explains nothing and defends
nothing, but only knows
where the rarest wildflowers
are blooming, and who goes,
and finds that he is smiling
not by his own will.

Borderland Wildflowers — Image by kenne
Ask the spring,
in its beauty
no stranger
to this land.
Who is the man
pale and bloody
his wounds from
miles of walking?

Seven Poppies — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Choosing one path means abandoning others —
if you try to follow every possible path
you will end up following none.

This time of year Picacho Peak State Park is an excellent example of the biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert.
Plants are at the greenest and wildflowers provide dots of color on the desert canvass.
The canvass of the desert
may appear to have no order.
Yet it is orderly,
but we don’t know why.
A poet has said;
If you want to know
where the flowers came from,
not even the spring goddess knows.

This is the time of year for some outstanding wildflower displays in the Tucson area, and we are having a banner year. The desert is quick to display its beauty after abundant rains we have experienced this winter.

Desert Lupine — Image by kenne
Out of the darkness
Signs of spring begin to rise —
Liberated, free.
Now I see poppies
Brightening the desert fields —
Now I’m satisfied.

Things of Poetry
Poppies
line the canyon trail,
brightening
each hiker’s way.
Passing greetings
share the joy
as the morning sun
intensifies
the canyon colors
brilliantly reflected
by each poppy,
the things
of O’Keeffe —
real poetry.

Desert Wildflowers — Computer Painting by kenne
the old man
hikes with
heavy feet
across the soul
of the mountains.
eyes blinking,
sometime winking
at the poppies
wishing to
pull up each
like the skirt of a
young women —
his ego
begins drifting
in the wind
left only with
flashes
of what was.

Try as one may

the desert spring
having lost the

how many dimensions
somewhere on the
mountain trails.
