LORINE'S WATER
Thursday, November 24, 2016
MORNING
And
now the fog is gone,
like
the haze of sleep
dissipated.
The birds
come
in to feed. I take
my
morning coffee and
the
cup warms my hands.
Joy
and sun touch everything.

Las Cruces
Pushed against
the mountains.
Cupped in light.
Lost morning.
The land asks
to be loved.
Hawk obliges.

Las Cruces
Cows and orchards
and dust. Good-bye.
Good-bye, Las Cruces.

Sky brings down
the mountains,
the weight of dust
behind us.

American kestrel
on a fencepost.
All the short grass
a hawk can watch.
All the work
a man can do.

Such fences as catch
the drift --
tumbleweeds and cattle.

Shine of water
in a creek bed
without a name.
