Los Gatos CA

Stanford professor
Took a shine
To his porch rats

Only allows
Them to be caught
Live-

Then driven
By car
To West Camino Cielo

Night Ride across the Caucasus

Apart from the actual ride
across the Caucasus
There was the romance of the saddle
undulating under the stars-
The idea of it
Was far more poetic than the sweat & blood-

Grouse Ridge

One feels it here:
The imponderably ancient
Succession of lives,
Rubble of animal vegetable mineral
Tangled in quiet ravines
Or strewn along mountain lakes,
Momentary the green & sentient
Bound the same,
Wind rising and falling,
Ten thousand years.
