Volcano, CA

your son taught you how 

to take a photo remotely 

by your watch. we made a totem pole with our heads

the phone banded to a dogwood sapling

inland from a rocky 

beach

they called off the search 

a month later. all they found were our belongings

circling a carved trunk of cedar 

now hollowed into a home

for squirrels

galaxies

images from space

made all my big problems 

small. now i can do whatever

my heart calls out

for   

#katyamills

pro.cess.ing

they worked with chemicals 

and film 

swallowed several shots 

before work toward

calm

extrication of light

from darkness

development

hopelessly devoted to

the process

patterns

all life. nothing escapes the pattern.
