Saguaro to Saguaro

Water towers in the desert.

Walkie-talkie whispers in the wind.

Stand watch as clouds stroll and fly by.

Serve and protect wildlife with shade.

Open manners to birds and bees.

Observe for signs of life out there.

Bless and curse the desert landscape.

Beautify the desert blue sky.

Ancient wisdom inside cacti.

After the rain water resides.

Abecedarian on Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass

Abecedarian on Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass Almost biblical this character destined for expansion and freedom and grandiosity but not exile and death of self and cultural versus contemplative Christianity. America is a beautiful country of deforestation and devastation and exploitation and founded because of greed and hegemony. Blood beneath the boot soles. Celebration of the bicentennial birthday of the white-bearded wizard with his songs of this rugged American life. Democracy now has been compromised believe it or not by agents bringing about change from deep down for better or worse. Earth is one poem of the universe. by Paul Hsu 7-3-18
