1,000 counted steps, 10 steps at a time, 10 days moving, 20-degree move, 20-degree movement
with error
shaping
the non-biased biased human, counting
the hand-, eye-, pencil-, pen-, yarn-, laser-, scissor-, pixel-, air-, water-traced tracing
traced again
the paper
echoed paper
the on-humming
ongoing
going on, on
going
to go,
go
on
an immortal second
a split second infinite
a ghost, free-flung dangling
the ancient
water-color-prism-perception
captured aura
lost but found
perpetual ephemerality
“The words topography and geomorphic refer to the shape of the land: topography means ‘place picture,’ and geomorphic means ‘earth form.’ These geomorphic provinces represent natural units within which the boundaries of landforms are remarkably consistent with those of biological communities. That is, the shape of the earth influences climate, and climate influences the distribution of plants and animals.” *
*from Allan A. Schoenherr’s A Natural History of California
