By Michael P. Garofalo
"The endless High Steep Cliffs all along the Sea—
striking, dramatic, and dangerous to me.
Haystack Rock, Morro Rock, Three Arch Rocks;
Islands, Sea-Stacks and Big Rocks alone.
Neahkahnie Mountain, basalt dome,
Throne of the Great Spirit, God's Home.
On Cone Mountain, the Los Vigilantes Oscuros,
hide in the twisted trees;
wanting to see but not to be seen.
Mary's Peak, Tcha Timanwings,
Kalapuya People's Place of Spiritual Beings.
Cruising on 1, along the steep cliffs
near Bixby Bridge - Iconic Cali at the Edge.
Mt. Ranier, Tacoma, Mother of Waters,
a glacier topped stratavolcano,
spewing lava for a million years.
Tacoma:
Even Before the Trees Came,
Home to Thunderbirds.
Home before HumanKinds."
