Seeing Past the Hudson – Poetry 1978 – Journal

Soft, the West Wind
Blowing visions
Of a continent
From beyond the Hudson River
Jersey to the Delaware Water Gap
The Midwest corn fields
360 flat horizens
The Mississippi
Corn giving way to cattle
The Missouri
High prarie rising from the Midwest
Sighting of the Rockies
Desert
Nevada
More desert
The Sierras
Oh California
Oh, the Pacific.
Stretching west to Asia.
I see it all
All America
From sea to shining sea
Standing on a Hudson River pier
The evening tide slipping to the sea
Holding you in my arms
Your boyish body
Your woman’s mind
Tender
Our embrace
I crave us naked
I don’t want California
All I want is you.
