Cape Mendocino
Cape Mendocino
The westernmost tip of California
hard to reach
except by Google earth
the usual method of exploration
these days.
The Point Arena Library
where I hung my words upon
the Poet Tree
growing in the entrance
hardly noticed.
A fellow
down on his luck
the beloved companion
of a wire haired dog
with bad breath
and crooked teeth
Both sitting beneath a leaf
of William Carlos Williams.
So much depends upon
this little dog
for the man
glazed with rain.
