Between the River and the Bay
Between the river and the bay
The call of the winter wren
The varied thrush
Fern of maidenhair and sword, evergreen of sorrel and salal and skunk cabbage
Leather fern, and clouded salamander
A single sequoia seed
Giants among giants, foxtails and folly
As a spotted owl hoots to the starry night through the canopy far above, I wash my face with morning dew
In the spectral woods, a phantasm awaits
