Landscapes in miniature
1. Orogeny
Crush this mile thick sand
then tilt fold fuse — the scarp screams
silent syllables
2. Saddle
This ridge reclines
It climbs and declines
Strata and syncline
3. Scale
Miniature euros
bound pads unmarked on paper
topographies
4. Implied
These lines of contour
suggest landscapes of abstract
possibilities
5. Here
The existence of
here depends on those peaks by
bearing grid backward
