fireworks

camp. 31 december 2011.

there's nothing better than standing in a cold field, blasting music and dancing around, lighting fireworks, and drinking champagne and whiskey.

especially on new years eve.

into the dark abyss






















marin headlands. july 2011.

an updated version of my last poem.
more to vance's style, i think.


When I awaken early
from the pre-dawn light
and reluctantly rise (before the rest),

I look at what surrounds me; 
I lay my eyes against objects simple and profound
and write a poem with my eyes and what they see. 

When backlit clouds prism rays into every shade;
When bare pine branches reach down
to frame sections of sky,

I am reminded that, although
there are no new words to use,
somehow each dawn is yet unthought.

When I awaken to the new day's light upon me,
I follow its caress
on rock and stream and branch;

I exist within a landscape of untouched woodland,
of hidden watersheds deep in the hills.
I face the dawn and shine my joy upon it.
