“I turn to landscape, to geography,
to monolith, to volcano
to earthquake, to canyon
to make form of these
shifting layers upon layers of life infinitely dense
of land of soil of memory
of bloom of decay of touch
of tears of abundance of loss
of joy of sorrow of torment
of toil of dreams of hunger
The time known by a humble seed, edified & edifying
the geologic
the lithic
strata
sediment
each year an infinitesimal millimeter
spread upon the grandeur of the
humming youthful earth groaning
Oh groaning time muffled by haste
Let my fingers linger & trace the
arborescence of each day
each hour each moon
The time known by a humble seed
we make a monument to love”
