dust devil
after a photograph by James Evans, 2007
For moments it is visible,
a twisted, tenuous thread
frayed at both ends.
How it writhes
like an angry bright vein,
pulses and bends,
touches down and snaps back
in an instant,
while we whirl away free,
yet engulfed in an ocean
of currents and heat,
breathing tides we can’t see.

Flotilla
Antelope go gliding by
on gilded grasses belly-high,
like sailors in a lambent sea
(taking little note of me,)
all legless, weightless, grazing down
below the waves, above the ground,
bright bottoms and buff tails galore,
flashing pronghorn semaphore
off each dainty heart-shaped stern,
a silent code that none can learn.
