possessing
herbal properties
providing a variety
of benefits
throughout the ages
medieval to modern
known for
clotting blood to
increasing intelligence
just ask the
Pueblo peoples —
try chewing before
fire-eating.

Speak to me of stones
Without stones, there is no arch —
A symbol of strength.

Gila Monster — Image by kenne
Not monsters at all, Gila monsters are one of the few species of venomous lizards on the planet. These carnivores are classified as near threatened and are native to the Sonoran Desert. We saw this lizard moving near and under desert bushes in the Saguaro National Park yesterday. Although these carnivores are classified as near threatened, they can be commonly seen this time of year scavenging for food after spending the winter underground.

Sabino Canyon Esperero Trail — Panorama by kenne
I walked the trail
passing clouds
cast their shadows
of dark gray
on the mountains.
All morning I pondered
the thought of a poem
I may never write
of this moment
missing the words
like the spring wildflowers
that never bloomed,
the land is bare
birds having migrated
south to Mexico.

Black Swallowtail Photo Essay– Signs of Spring by kenne (Tohono Chul, Tucson AZ, February 24, 2018)
Desert springtime, with flowers popping up all over the place, trees leafing out, streams gushing down from the mountains. Great time of year for hiking, camping, exploring, sleeping under the new moon and the old stars. At dawn and at evening we hear the coyotes howling with excitement—mating season.

Hummmmm
I can see you looking at me
Behind those dark sunglasses
Sending a sign,” I’m ready.”
My doctor says no, not until after
A neurological consultation for
having experienced a possible TIA.
Hummmmm
