Poem: This line
where the dark blue mountains
are nippled with white fire...
as they embrace
the silver green water prairie...
This fringe...of magic and mystery...
the killer whale has skirted...
the bald eagle has guarded...
and the salmon has crossed...
since deep in the mists of time...
This place...so slowly worked
by the wave and wind chisel...
This meeting space...
where Earth and Ocean strive...
eternally...to be one...
This crack through which
mighty legends were born...
This slash...cut by a cataclysm...
that still reverberates...
in the Pacific air...
This West Coast...
will be forevermore...
the border of...
my long sought homeland...
a rambler's...
final...earthly...destination..."
