Mt. Sentinel , Missoula Montana
"The sun's rays match slight mountain
and western [ Clark Fork] river.
We whittle granite grizzly bear
resume symphony and settle barriers
with contour map and the value of breast
stained by the passage of ice that bloody steel
that cuts the mother without regard to fool's games
or the laws that Man's God devised to pursue grief
from some perpetual wasting thy will
death engaged before my life restored. I am blessed.
My mother murdered Bristol England Streets
when nine years I tasted her bloody knife"
Jacob Colman of Bristol , England: 15 July 1806
