Housecleaning

A new tribe of ants

carves tunnels in the sand --

time to clear the dust. 

Hoofprints

We walked up to the Dome recently to see the new green lichen growing on the rocks. There may be pooled water or even a small spring under the rocks; the Dome attracts a lot of wildlife. The earth around the Dome had been marked by dozens of hooves in various sizes.

A message in dust,

letters from a wild font:

antelope hoofprints.

Season of Wind

The night wind

sighed without stopping;

in my dream

all was erased

but sand and stone.
