We have what we seek. It is there all the time, and if we give it time it will make itself known to us. ~ Thomas Merton

I am…

a scattering of rocks
mesquite branches, brittle and gray
fading desert blossoms.

I am…

a tattered curtain
a piecemeal quilt
a lock and rusty key.

I am…

a cloud of red dust
tumbleweed dancing
a barbed wire fence.

I am…

an album of faded photographs
a deck of Tarot cards
a poetry book.

I am…

a lost thought
questions, unanswered
a silent meditation.

I am…

pulp and a rolling pin
an inked letter press
warp and weft.
