(at At Home in Napa)
Track marks of char
line hilltops
singed of evergreen,
the fire’s path
a blackened trail of breadcrumbs.
Vultures perch on a redwood fence
taking orderly turns
ripping flesh
from roadkill skunk,
his noxious fumes
floating miles
down canyon,
an aromatic middle finger
to his fate.
Yerba Buena mint
and rosemary flowers
bask in February light;
blankets of mustard
woven through a loom
of vineyards
shimmer and hum and buzz
with honeybees
dusted in winter.

Casting an eye southwest over Napa Valley at sunset while Red-shouldered Hawks screech from their hidden perches in the olive groves dotting the hills, and the heady scent of fermentation clings to the wet evening air.
