blue sky come to portland

The clouds took time off yesterday.
Sol Tushman came to breakfast at Screen Door.
Drank pink mimosas on Kelsie's front porch.
Everyone was at the park.
and Naomi Pomeroy (Beast) cooked cheese filled
sausages in back yard at her housewarming party.

I could get used to this!

two albums that I know of: Cedar Shakes and Medicinals, and then maybe there is a new album that came out earlier this year? I don't know. Anyway, it sounds good in my ears.

robin and the rocks























Carmel Point

The extraordinary patience of things!
This beautiful place defaced with a crop of suburban houses-
How beautiful it was when we first beheld it,
Unbroken field of poppy and lupin walled with clean cliffs:
No intrusion but two or three horses pasturing,
Or a few milch cows rubbing their flanks on the outcrop rockheads-
Now the spoiler has come: does it care?
Not faintly. It has all time. It knows people are a tide
That swells and in time will ebb, and all
Their works dissolve. Meanwhile the image of the pristine beauty
Lives in the very grain of the granite,
Safe as the endless ocean that climbs our cliff. -As for us:
We must uncenter our minds from ourselves:
We must unhumanize our views a little, and become more confident
As the rock and ocean we are made from.






















Hey, man! That's a pretty heavy poem!
