Tanka

In Memory of Joseph

09/04/1932 to 03/31/2018

a fork in the road

how often we hear that phrase

yet, in my life

there was a single path

traveled for years with you

Modern English Tanka

Spring Haiku

jacaranda dusk

a haze of petals

falling with the light

mountain stream

gurgling over rocks . . .

my feet are numb

   THE WEAVER 

Hand woven rugs at a craft fair.  The weaver, a Navajo woman.  Her dark skin, barely wrinkled, yet she doesn’t appear too young.  Something about the way she moves, the steady calmness that comes with age and experience.  Her long black hair done in a braid down her back, like a thick rope, reaching below her waist.  With slender hands she weaves skeins of wool into motifs imagined and actual, garnered from ancestral traditions and folk lore.

a saguaro shadow– 

sunset colors stretch

across  desert sands
