Poudre River Colorado Rockies– Photo-Artistry by kenne
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

RIPRAP
Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
place solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way,
straying planets
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
in the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.

I live in the Sonoran Desert where cacti are abundant.
But I photographed this little guy alone the Poudre River, northwest of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
This cactus looks like some type of barrel cactus. (September 14, 2014)
