--Granite cliff just east of Auburn 7-15-90--

Cliffs rising high 
-- I'm in love again 
with your rugged litchen covered faces.
Between two boulders 
each large as a house 
where you overhang here 
a face painted on 
seventeen years ago 
faded yet still seen 
and in blocked letters 
near its mouth, " People who live among others 
shouldn't throw stones. "

It's been so long since last I was here
the leaves are thicker 
and I haven't forgot how too walk 
on steep rock.
