Book three of impromptu trilogy.

  Journal of Breezes


Where it compiled a multi-ridged horizon I found
myself seeking reasons for some pertinent things

I hoped would occur.  Even in the process
of hiking I was happy to hum popular hymns
      celebrating
those risks we endure.  The restroom was empty
when I found reason to enter—it was a form
      of courtesy,
the opuntia raising their blue pads in this breeze.
...in this place, one eventually comes to believe

the land's reckless assignations.  Shortly thereafter
something in the austere chaparral rattles

which amplifies the option to wander off toward
the poppies—wary, apprehensive from rough life
      and warm weather.
