all winter i have been ecoprinting.
on flax,
milkweed,
hosta,
abaca,
arches text wove,
and on lokta
PAPERS
and
on shifu, textiles, and threads.
i've bound up a few books
and have the covers ready for an edition of
HORTUS SICCUS
my
dry garden.
i hope that while i travel out to colorado
for the terraphilia residency
to bring along my hortus siccus,
to explore what is a very dry garden, indeed.
i leave a week from today.

last night i visited the county jail
and a young man i know
and have new thoughts about how
we treat
those on the edges.
i wonder about edges, how rich they are
until you slip over
