Yosemite

ventured into untamed wilderness,

wandered the land our indigenous cousins once freely roamed.

crossed rivers and meandered through mountains, lost until it felt like home.

called your name aloud, but the trees didn’t know you,

wrote a little song, but the birds refused to sing.

naïve versions of you and me danced through the dark woods,

and then I watched as the rivers took us whole and washed us out
