Rose remnants float in my palm
the color
of fresh blood
of sunsets
cerise, burnt orange, gold.
A pale blue dragon
thunders
across a salmon sky.
Slowly indigo night
descends,
only the coyotes sing.

Searching for cool
Slithering, hunting

These Mexican Bird of Paradise speak for themselves.

Eerie. Â Silence. Â Fixed dinner, took it out on the patio, sat down. Â Realized I could hear myself chewing–pasta, not celery or carrots, pasta. Â What?!
Stopped eating. Â Listened. No insects chirping, no birds calling, no wind blowing.
Nothing.
Eerie. Â Quiet, cloud covered sky. Â No lightning, no thunder.
Nothing.
I looked for a tornado cloud, an explanation. Â None. Â This never occurs here.
The sound of no sound.

The words and tune to this old song float through my brain. Â Summer. Â Early morning yoga, coffee, horses fed, flowers watered, a lazy lunch: Â salad with feta, black beans with caramelized onions. Â Slouched, reading a book (The Return, Hasham Matar) on the sofa, feet crossed on edge of coffee table, patio doors open, I hear birdsong, the whir of black fans in the ceiling sea of white. Â Summer. Nap time. Â Awaken slowly, eyes watching cotton candy clouds barely move across an azure sky. Â Summer.
Remnants of summer remaining
Sunrise over canyon walls, hoot owl calling
Hints of autumn lurking
storm clouds at sunset
rain
reflections in gold
