This plant hopper looks so woe-be-gone. I know, I know! Terrible anthropomorphism. And there’s a steep price, a severe punishment, for anthropomorphism. Although I forget what it is.

The desert as flower shop, buckets of bouquets tripping you at each step so that you are half afraid to take a step. All that scent and sex in the air. A perpetual wedding toss. Catch! Always something to see and shout about.

In a reflective mood, one thinks of the great blue heron and Mary Oliver’s poem on great blue herons in which we “see how the sudden gray-blue sheets of her wings strive toward the wind; see how the clasp of nothing takes her in.”
