Joy and Kenne
Between Men and Women
I continue to search for the magic,
the magic relationship combination —
luck, romance, and harmony.
There are many formulas,
but they all seem rather glib:
work as a team, compromise,
‘doing your own thing,’
living separate lives under one roof,
all part of an invisible code.
Still, poets write of past muses
and fantasize future romantic
relationships in the games people play.

An open skylight
Equal parts broken sunlight
Is magical light.
Changes the rhythm
As colors move through the room
Giving soul to space.

White-lined Sphinx Moth — Photo-Artistry by kenne
“I blush blue and exemplary
as it zips down to the river,
and flycatches the road’s more
ambiguous edges, pleats the ground
with all the markers of the year
into a half-circle of older silver lamps.”
— from The Gregory Quarter-Acre Clause by Medbh McGuckian

This mourning dove built her nest in a planter outside our front door.
Of course she didn’t move when the sprinkler for these none desert plants came on.

A Tucson Sunset — Image by kenne
Why I live in Tucson, “. . . take one as needed.”
The sky is more than blue,
it’s “Tucson blue”
as I walk the trails,
sometimes in pain,
but always convivial
in fellowship with nature
where there is strong
medicine in the air —
. . . take one as needed.
Landscapes draw inspiration,
subtle and complex
as an O’Keeffe painting,
everywhere you look
(with a trained eye)
stories of the past
can be heard
in your mind’s ear —
. . . take one as needed.
Allowing the mind
to enclose infinity
(yes, the mind can)
for the moment
to accommodate
all the sounds
all the smells
all observable images —
. . . take one as needed.
Diversity, a word
often heard when
describing the Sonoran desert
(the source of that concept)
and the purposes
all living things play
trying to be worthy
recipients of each breath —
. . . take one as needed.
Each day brings
an appreciation
of every moment,
that every second
does really count
as time builds moments
that will forever echo
off the mountains —
. . . take one as needed.
When not walking the trails
I continue learning,
learning about desert ecology
and the ways of the past
so that I can be part
of those people
who came before me
and sow their seeds —
. . . take one as needed.
Here we have city ways
and village ways,
a yin and yang
creating a special blend
allowing those who
dream to live in between
the Tucson blue
and the desert night stars —
. . . take one as needed.
