Spring 1990

from “A Single Breath”

Teasing the demonic

Wrestling the wrathful

Laughing with the lustful

Seducing the shy

Wiping dirty noses and sewing torn shirts

Sending philosophers home to their wives in time for dinner

Dousing bureaucrats in rivers

Taking mothers mountain climbing

Eating the ordinary

1991

from “Coming into the Watershed”

California is gold-tan grasses, silver-gray tule fog,

olive-green redwood, blue-gray chaparral,

silver-hue serpentine hills.

Blinding white granite,

blue-black rock sea cliffs.

—Blue summer sky, chestnut brown slough water,

steep purple city streets—hot cream towns.

Many colors of the land, many colors of the skin.
