Subterranean Echo
Deeply rooted
in its chthonian base
this Salish Sea
succumbs to
the whim of winds
imbibers of logic
the Great Spirit’s
indocile children
free in their roughness
calm in their sleep and
this sea
glaucous
as it has been
radiant
as it has glowed
suffers not in its attachment
to earthly depths
crevasses of the mind and
insists to adorn
the tip of the painter’s
brush with its brilliance
