this gift was mine
after leaving sea level
more or less to here, 700 feet.
wild clouds split bright the sky
i steer up my drive
spot the rocks waiting for their pages.
a flash of long white muscle and
black paintbrush disappears under this foundation
one moment
out it ran into the garage,
i waited with camera
you never know when grace appears,
and if you're waiting, well, it just vaporizes.
rock book five
minus ermine.
magical!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletecool... I'll keep a lookout for ermine, to keep up our mirrored north-world tradition.

this baby was bold, strong, mighty, and small.
I am loving the exoticness of your wildlife - for me they are all unknown and unusual! A nice rockbook waiting to begin...
ReplyDeletefiona, this one is the cover for the largest rock book from november's exhibition. so the pages are done (thank god). it was way too heavy for me to manage through the high drifts, so it sat outside after i removed it from the back of my car in february!
ReplyDeleteoh, and work is at 250 altitude, not sea level...
ReplyDeleteoh wow, you have the most exotic wildlife, what a beautiful little creature.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! Molly and I saw a mink on the way home from Play practice the other night. It was only a brief glimpse but still felt like a gift.
ReplyDeletei saw my first (alive) mink next to lake huron. it was amazing, beautiful. this is my second ermine.
