https://www.brigantesenglishwalks.com/uwaunr8rtv It is a beautiful place, the desert.
enter I never realized its fullness of life, its diversity
until daily I walked its paths,
treading on mountain peaks lightly frosted in mid winter
climbing in its washes torn asunder by summer’s flash floods.
go Walking its rocky trails, aware of each footfall,
threading my way through a maze of deep crevices in the earth.
watch Reaching towards a saguaro to steady my bearings
only to pull back in mild alarm
imagining my hand pierced with the thorns of a saguaro.
https://mocicc.org/agricultura/iporyr66twe Standing in its washes in spring, yes the desert has its seasons,
admiring the waving yellow poppies, their throats flushed with red,
their roots grounded in a chaos of rock and grit,
their silken petals a delicate offering amidst so much ruggedness.
