than naked river rock or exposed cliff ledge
no votary impulse more satisfied than at mountaintop
or at the base of inexorable whitewater
under big bossy cumuli
the whole body seems tempted toward campfire
as it does toward sunshine
breathing such living air
your skin is summoned to drink
the fine atmospheric champagne that on its own
comes to its knees
by earthy drunkenness or faith
faith in the wildness of life
in the sturdy storm enduring tree
and the white stamen of shooting star
that has been
abhorrently commandeered
abhorrently commandeered
by creation
