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.
