Cliff dwellers

In April, its presence stronger
than its absence, in September
the water of Beaver Creek

I would have guessed
that the creek flows
from left to right
towards the corner bank.

in the direction
out of the plaque of description
of their vanishment guess

Do settlements happen
uphill?

Count to believe

A Bloom A Cactus bloom A Pink Cactus bloom A Shiny Pink Cactus bloom The fifth had all these Left to right and back around a bush my eyes reconnoitered for the exact number of Leilia Hackberry butterflies Seven *************** Supertition Mts, AZ

Crossing the creek

I looked down
to find stones to
put my feet on

Once I had my hold
I looked up
for the next step

many medium
purple butterflies
rose from nowhere

I flit from there
before the
dirty water was
all that was there

Until we find

The perfect pair
with just the right angle to stand on
with best former looks

We cant part from the old ones

Even if the sole slants from wear
Even if once rich Golden stripes fade

We cant part from the old ones

Until we find the same.



PS: Tangled ones dont stand a chance.
Who wants to walk like a prisoner?

Call for four hands

A baby boy was taken off a shelf, held on both sides.
When he turned like a pop ball, Father appeared.

Accompaniment

Even when alone
the rhythm of
cooking
once begun
takes over the
hand
possessed
with a mind
to press the
play button
of acoustics.
