#Haibun: March Dandelions
March can be unpredictable here in the desert southwest. Mornings and evenings are cool, days are mild. By midday, I am changing clothes from sweatpants to shorts, and then by sundown, back to sweatpants. Evenings are perfect for a dip in the hot tub, and for my crazy Viking husband, a cold plunge into the pool. All too soon, we’ll be missing these perfect spring moments. The heat will roar across the desert, sending sizzling waves into the trembling air.

Where Silence Once Rained
“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.”
― John Lennon
Let there be storms where silence once rained
Let there be voices raised in utter outrage
Where complacency and apathy once reigned
Rise up, Rise up People, Get Enraged
For greed has become commonplace
Create a beautiful space for goodness and grace
Where all are loved regardless of skin color or race

Strawberry Wine
Your finger left a fragrant trace
of sweet strawberry wine
upon my bruised lips
as you caressed my face
and wiped smeared lipstick away
And though the fragrance lingers
the taste is what I’ll remember
like the first luscious bite
of a sun kissed red ripe berry
after a frosty and lonely winter
When your yearning lips touched mine
stark cold became warm bursting spring
Like a plump velvet peach divine
my cheeks blushed and bloomed,
as your warm tongue lingered within
