BEFORE THE TREES
Oil 11x14”
EE Jacks Fine

Old lures
Older moors
Embers born
I was here before the trees
I’ll be here after they burn
Before Lake Mead
Before the wars
This place was a song without words
Noel De Leon told CBS on Monday -CBS News
"As the water goes down
the skeletons come up."
I heard that tune in 1883
When ash sprinkled over the shallow Java Sea
Now rising
The edge of my domain returns to terra firma
Cresting over
Island to island
Blood to blood
Now the lapping lessens
Eternity encapsulates all forms
Luring me back to my early origins
To the only truth I know
Water is
Reborn
