SISAR NARRATIVE
Somewhere:
Between Tintinnabulation
And Fulmination, the creek
Sounds its way through
The canyon.
Somewhere:
Amongst Alder
California Bay and
Sycamore, the Creek
Finds its riparian path.
Alongside:
A fissured Fire Road runs
Inviting human connection
With the Canyon, Creek and
Its Overstory.
Rising:
Out of this Gorge
Awareness shifts focus-
From its embracing
Participation
In the Creek
Its Cold waters rushing
Over bleached rocks
Its Tangles of Alder
Felled by wind and fire
Its Canopy
Of dappled light
To the Geomorphic:
The color, form and scent
Of the Chaparral Landscape.
Far:
Its textures Clump
Below the Imperious
Walls of the
Topatopas.
Below:
The ghost tracery
Of sycamores is etched
Against the verdure
Of the canyon’s Depths.
Near:
Smothered by a heavy
Honeyed scent
Ceanothus Blossoms
Pepper the slopes.
Everywhere:
Mind and Body
Caressed
By Objects
Unfolding before them.
