I'm blogging at Miriam's Well  which is always looking for work tied in to our interests. And I interview poets who have published a book. Email for blog submissions or interview questions is msagan1035@aol.com. The current theme is "Letter To My Younger Self."

Right now I'm at Herekeke on Lama Mountain, working with my daughter Isabel Winson-Sagan on an ongoing collaboration of text and image. Here is a poem.

The tattooed girl

draws the mountain

surprisingly soft-lined

fences and trees,

as a child

obsessed by rivers,

black and red ants

crawl over the bark

of an old piñon

traveling through gullies and canyons,

suminagashi lines

on paper

pulled once

through ink floating on water

wet fractal

of a topo map

some place real yet imagined

right now

I might not even

see

Lama Mountain
