Sputters in the drought
Decades’ gold summers,
But sometimes a storm
Still pulls together
Above the mesas
And muddies wayside
Crash memorials
Like this well-tended
Cross without a name
Planted in the shade
Where there’s almost none.
Winds that blow brief rains
Blow out the votive
Candle left under
The cypress and pine.
