Lady Bird's Wildflower Dream


Lady Bird’s Wildflower Dream

 

Lady Bird’s dream in a blazing fire wheel,

Yellows and reds of the Indian blanket,

Tell the story of her quest in woven colors.

Interplay of light and reflection,

Whites and blues in the bonnets of the Lupine,

Shape and shadow crevices of limestone.

 

Cloudless sky, newborn sun, down along the Rio Grande

 

Flowered fishhook and a cholla cactus,

Christmas lights of a natural splendor,

Red fruits of a horse crippler and tasajillo.

Spanish dagger and Huisache daisy,

Algerita just ripe for jelly,

Waits for the unfledged journey of the Monarch butterfly.

 

Cloudless sky, summer breeze, down along the Rio Grande.

                                                                  

Talkin’ ‘bout Lady Bird’s dream,

Flaming orange of the ocotillo,

Lines a caliche road heading to Marfa.

Cat claw blossom all dressed in purple,

Paints the dust and touches summer,

Decorating the sand through windblown harmonies.

 

Cloudless sky, dying sun, down along the Rio Grande.

Lady Bird’s dream, her wildflower dreams
