Mons: On a Ridge in Canyon I Watch the Mist



On a Ridge in Canyon I Watch the Mist

On a ridge in Canyon,
I watch the mist,
rise up along the redwoods
across the valley,
in heavy rains.

Thunder! Is this the first time ever
that I've heard this in California?

A rumble. The mists continue,
between those little valleys
in the redwood forest,
and, in the opposite direction,
in another little valley,
~ "'Indian valley,'
it used to be called,"
the shipwright said ~
the vistas go on and on,
so long.

Oh, the beautiful,
open, green hills
to the east!
