Puja

Wild mustard waving to the sun
I am the only one
standing on
Rattlesnake Rock
My fearless place
juts out over
Bronco Canyon,
clinging to the declivity

O the sky!
is pouring down
upon my face!
the Santa Ana
tangles my hair
calls my name
whirls me away
and I am gone!

In the whisper of that wind
I know
in the breathing of this electric air
I know
in this moment of release
I know
I am
beautiful
