~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saguaro rib walking staff
Bleached grey
Desiccated nearly weightless
A solar artifact
Swinging alongside sandal crunch
On pathway gravel, sand, cobble
Footfall & pendulum
The only sense of time
Trailside flattop rock
Waist high prominence
Fold into lotus to cushion ankles
Sanüks under butt for balance
Virga aloft cloud shadows dancing
Paloverde, ocotillo, chenille prickly pear
Immediacy quickening thirst
Expectant, hushed, listening
Stripped down to simplicities
These austerities, xeriscapes
Droplets that do reach the ground
Nothing less than breath
