fox creek loop, ketchum, idaho, july 2009
…Mallow is fire resistant, sprouting after topkill from surviving root crowns or horizontal rhizomes. Having its roots buried in mineral soil enables it to escape the heat of surface fires. Mallow stands often owe their existence to logging or fires. The species is an obligate pioneer that increases and grows rapidly following disturbances…
glacial erratics— my new friends— these huge rocks sitting in the midst of it all scattered down the slopes of the sawtooths. big rock spirits holding down the earth…they are beautiful and i love being around them.
they are deviants.

I am in mourning
For your face
The one I used to love
To see
Leaping, glowing
Upon the
The stage
The mike
Eager…
Thrusting
In your
Fist.
I am in mourning
For your face
The shining eyes
The happy teeth
The look that said
I am the world
And aren’t you
Glad
Not to mention
Deeply
In luck.
I am in mourning
For
The sweet brown innocence
Of your skin
Your perfect nose
The shy smile
That lit you
Like a light.
I am in mourning
For a face
The Universe
In its goodness
Makes but once
Each
Thousand
Years
and smiles
And sends it out
To spread great joy
Itself well pleased.
I am in mourning
For your beloved face
So thoroughly
And undeservedly
Released.
Oh, my pretty little
Brother. Genius. Child.
Sing to us. Dance.
Rest in peace.
