Notes About The Poem
Mount Rainier "My First Love," Bruce J. Nelson (1922-2015), color pencil, 1997

Our Misty Tears
It's my first love he said,
majestic Tahoma*
they named it long ago
before white men settled
and claimed it as their own~
now misty as our tears.
*Mount Rainier is called Tahoma by Native American tribes.Tahoma translates to "mother of waters".
