You see the backsides
Of cities, but the best face
Of the lands between.
As the spring ice breaks
An eagle swoops to the stream
Rises with a fish.
Deep piled mountain snow
Tall straight pinetrees, red and green
Distant blue valleys.
A rainbow peeking
From a white lateen-sail cloud
Over snow capped hills.
Huge patient eyes of
Brown horses trimmed with black manes
In a spring meadow.
OMG there are
Flowers growing in the ground…
California!
