Sierra Nevada

Elevation seven thousand
incestuous aspens thick
as women standing near
a door -- woven together at
the feet.  Their meeting


is subterranean.  Speak
black bird who sits
among their green hair
brute against blue
firmament.  Shooting


West from Nevada, wind
scours the granite waste
and meets the Ocean's breath.
Shot rock to nude pines.
White flowers bloom, shocking.
