Hubris

All the elegance
Of small-scale
Gets swept aside
By this tide
Of tectonic pride

Snow-Bliss

What perfect desolation
Walking the north flank of Mount Muir
Through a corridor of towering pines
Freighted with new snow,
When the slightest pulse of wind
Sends an ice-dust
Down the ladder of branches
To where I stand exhilirated
As it crosses my cheek

Haiku

she dead and scattered
still the dog at the door
waits for her

Sea Swell

Behold the blue seaswell
That lifts itself
A glassy morning
Out of the sea's heaving breast:
The open ocean wave
That draws itself
Across the rock reef
Cresting toward the fine pitch
That exhilirates the very air
With a perfect  mane of spray
                                         -Big Sur

Guadalajara

Locomotives idle at their sidings
The world over

The big Case-Hellwig diesels
At low rpms
Or slow revv flashing what horsepower:

The iron-wheel'd gods
Bide their time...

Borealis

A yellow moon rises huge
over great rafts of tundra
near the seventieth parallel:
twelve hundred miles to the Pole.
Under a faint Borealis
a young grey wolf drinks 
from a long tire pond
on the road once used
as a shortcut to Sitka

Crows

day's end

stashing tools
back in the truck

a high    caw    caw
                heard

four or five
   in loose company
       heading east

              caw    caw

above the ridge
one turns north
alone

              caw
