remembering the words and images
drawings of the trees, the forests, and the mountains
a distant view, as if I were there
recollected on this early morning
where every luminous landscape
California winter sun
blue and green fields of clear color
pale green leaves meticulously rendered
landscape of the California Impressionists
immersed in the lives of the Society of Six
color-laden visions of their hiking journeys
but that is what happened
following the footsteps of St Patrick
it was so long ago
intertwined with remembered lore
weaving in the details
in the aftermath of what wild nights or words
armed only with remembered song
wine dark Aegean Sea
Judy Malloy: where every luminous landscape
