Windy Gulch
Originally appeared in WAVING HANDS, the literary journal of Colorado Northwestern Community College. Spring 2021.
windy gulch
for my sanity
I sometimes
pull off a paved road
to a dirt road
go a while
pull onto a two-track
follow it to the end
or until I get sick of driving
get out
start walking
to an arroyo
somewhere
follow that
up the sandy bottom
climbing slickrock dryfalls
no other humans
just the occasional deer track
or coyote or cat
go until
tired + find
a shady granite cliff
to sit under
listen to wind
cooling my sweat
stay there
watching trees + clouds
breathing sage juniper pine
look for Dillard bugs
maybe nap
attract buzzards
or a hawk
fill myself
with gracias
w/these moments
away

Rock Tao by David Meltzer
My book review of David Meltzer's long lost book length collage essay, Rock Tao, now up at Splice Today. Meltzer crossed the bridge between the Beats and the San Francisco Renaissance poetry scene and the 60s San Francisco rock scene.
