MAKING CAMP
& four thousand years of writing equals
the life of the Bristle Cone Pine
Mountains and Rivers Without End*
--Gary Snyder
He asks around in Bishop
about the Bristle Cones
in the White Mountains
90 now,
walking mountain spirit
walking on walking
I keep running into places he’s been,
where he’s camped,
you'd never know it, hmmm,
I forgot to put mole skin
on my bone spur
this morning
before lacing my boots
well, we do share the same place
