Birch bark canoe paddle dips in the high and low waters but moves forward and frayed tow rope can be cordage made tight to lift and traverse the tidings pull back and forth. Sculpture faces blown from Native Americans mountain see the plains but trails remain illusive in ways and means of division between forest trees branches that have a wide breach and yet bend down with weight of a knapsack.

teetering on the edges of our

pinacles where flowers

grow unseen
