Joshua Memorial Park: Poem

Joshua Memorial Park

by Armando Ortiz


In September, the high desert is an oven,

with plastic flowers and visitors,

that can’t silence the laughing crows,

perching on green pine trees.


The last time I saw you,

death had already taken your lungs,

but now artificial carnations wont wither,

and stand straight against the sun.
