35 Years Since the Mt. St. Helens Blast

Mt. St. Helens Eruption

 

Photo taken by a real estate agent from the area of my childhood home, in 1979, less than a year before the mountain erupted. I put scores of BBs in the dead tree on the left, over time. 

I don't know if Wally Arp was a Dadaist. He is now.

 

The Columbia Gateway, 1938

 

Bonneville Dam and Mount Hood. The postcard was a photomontage, making the mountain to appear closer to the dam than in reality.

Even Spring Has the Night

Even Spring Has the Night

Skin like the Thames, the Shard’s beacon yoked to the Surrealist show at the Tate Modern.

White nights on Jomfruland, goose whistled past dawn, Venus frosty above Christiania,

My hare legs in slippers, Carnatic as a stave kirk, toward Herre, Norway to yearn,

Are the kids bothering you, the canal banked no horses, “time is everything.”

Time veined the truth, out to the churchyard I waded, toward lichen we turned.
