Mountain Wines:  A GIRL GROWS UP ON MOUNT EDEN

an exhibition of poetry and photography by Ronald Philip Tanaka

Sunset  there's a spirit in every
 daybreak, every stone

 and vineyard, in every
 sky that opens up her

 gentle arms for me. i  
 was taught all these

 things before i learned
 how to close my eyes 

or touch my hair or laugh and dance and sing -

without wanting,
without asking

a mountain child - in
my deep heart's core.
