Summer rain and creosote;
in the book of your eyes
silver clouds casting skins over red rock,
the sun on a feather grass leaf.

Photographer’s Note: I like the quirky photo interpretation of the poet’s words. Further, “the book of your eyes” and other descriptive words leave me with the same emotions of the “stories” I see when I’m wandering alone and capturing the details in nature, like this random feather in the grass.
