in the land of hummingbirds

early morning
in the land of hummingbirds

valley winds
setting the patio table with
coffee, cake, and cooling calm

sand mountains of
tumbleweeds and palms
ascend to azure umbrella sky

lemon sunlight
cajoles
the throbbing pink
bouganvillea
up the stone garden wall

terra cotta goldfish
swim in the branches
of grapefruit trees
amidst
coke bottle and jelly jar
wind chimes

christmas cacti
peppers
and tomato plants
are praying to their
sprinkler hose saints

my body requiring only
a pink nightgown

listening to loving snores float out the bedroom window

as i luxuriate in this
palm springs purgatory
before the rest of the house
is awake
