“Oregon”

traversing mountains
without elevation

along angry seacoasts
without beaches

on grapevine roadways
of endless corners

above sky blue lakes
like azure mirrors

through gothic forests
of shaded woodlands

and hillside patchworks
of naked harvest

a suitcase settler
driven to horizons

of redwood sunsets
and brassy dawns

“American Tourister”
with nightly reservations

among the lodge poles
and totem faces
at Land’s End
