Tucson Loop Mesquite-dreams

 

ancient Mesquites lean dangerously 

over the path as if whispering to

younger ones on the other side


some copses remind me

of groups of people lounging

under bushy ramadas

gossiping in low tones


‘look at those untethered ones’

‘they don't seem to know that

everything comes to those who wait

those rooted in place’


some remind me of leggy

spindly visions of

broccoli florets
