Sequoia
through weather and fire
through footsteps and sharpen’d blades
surviv’d her seed
to become a dinosaur among the living
with hope to snatch the finish line
against modern civilization
and sire more heads in the clouds
Friendship (from the Time Capsule)
neither light years
nor silence
can deny thee
In Style
It’s pouring with rain
He’s got his warm clothes
umbrella and backpack
but most importantly—his skateboard
He’s ready for school
Point Loma
catch a glimpse
one’s eyes
through a break
in the coastal ridgescape
transport the mind
to 16th century
to Juan Cabrillo
soldier explorer
the birth
of European boots
to engrave this western shore
the placenta
of California
Lettuce Bush plus A Mystery
Here’s the result of several lettuce
seeds sharing a large pot.
Does anyone know what this succulent is?
I did not plant it. But several years ago
(after living here for over a decade) it
gradually popped up and stayed here.
I have taken some cuttings to spread
it around our property. For now we’ve
been calling it our alien plant. If you
recognize it, please let me know.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!
Juneau
Auke and Taku
their spirits in th’ eyes
of today’s eagles
reviving more modest times
