Forever Studs black diamond singing the same lovely notes

singing the same lovely notes

a grayish purple you call Merlin’s Forest

We wait until golden hour

their music and ours harmonizing

Inspired by Robert Smithson's earthwork sculpture constructed in April 1970

Later, we camp near the river, the rushing water just more music, echoing over the valley. We share bottles of soda and smoky mezcal, loaves of bread and orange jam,
