Wondering what you think of this. If you take the time to read it, thank you
[b]Near Yosemite, CA[/b]
I was there
Each dry oak with stabbing leaves
And the pines and the big rock across the water
Are so abstinent, so quiet
They’ll tell you unbearable truths
While all the years push at you
From both ends of the river
The place is a praying site, a holy mosque
The water’s light feels like sand in the far east
Or when the moon hits, the bed of civilization
In a fertile area
I swung a line
you can hardly be a citizen here
Of the United States, only an older brother, sister
Or a rock bottomer
Are these mountains still being settled
You might ask, what’s really taking place here
Did John Muir hope to raise cattle
Are you a tourist in dim equipment light
Hoping to see some rock
Or are these the holy kind of mountains
That you can meet face to face
where villages spread out
And the grains are passed around
I’m here anyways
I just kept on barefoot walking down the summersand
And jumped in the water there
