Yesterday I was walking into Sabino Canyon to teach 1st-grade students how the Hohokam lived in the canyon and the Tucson basin hundreds of years ago when a friend spotted a red-tail hawk atop a tall saguaro cactus. Sadly, I didn’t have my Nikon camera with me, so I made use of my iPhone to capture an image. Not what I would like to capture, but it’s better than not getting an image at all.

A halo of death
A sky where death is asleep
A corpse stands along.

Cold desert morning
Moving briskly on the trail
Dewdrops on dried weeds.

Despairing of God
I went to the desert
to seek my own saint.
