“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”
