Step carefully
when you tread on the earth.
Know every step you take
presses on her body:
her face her forests
brown skin of her mountains
changeable eyes of her lakes.
How easy it is to forget
your long-time lover...
from "Relationship Poem"

This is the place
where the earth
steps
out of herself,
seems to breathe
is more present in her absence.
If only I could open
my eyes wide enough
or increase the peripheral
vision of my heart.
from "Grand Canyon"
