Garden in the courtyard of a catholic church in Tularosa or La Luz, I forget which. It doesn’t matter.

In this Garden

This blessed oasis

Solitude is not enough

to alleviate my desperation

Cupped in a united palm

of the three magi

They are the rays reaching out through the campanario

In the shadow of St. Francis de Paula

Toll for my sorrow

Toll for my sorrow

The garden never thirsts

It drinks from the mountains Sacramento

Drink from my sadness

An elixcer for the cottonwoods

To forget spring
