Mountain Wines:  A GIRL GROWS UP ON MOUNT EDEN

an exhibition of poetry and photography by Ronald Philip Tanaka
October Sunrise you know, these vines are really my friends. when

i'm lonely they talk to me. and when harvest

comes and the warm night air stands very

still and touches my face, if close my eyes

and open my mouth, i can taste the fruit and i

can taste the dust and the pale autmn light. i

guess most people think i'm a little strange -

except the girls on my soccer team. in the sum-

mer they come up here to run and we hang out

on the verandah and play cool stuff for the pinots

and the cabs - like bach cantatas, enya or the

smashing pumpkins cranked up high. of course,

most people think the girls on my team are a

little weird too but when we go to the northern-

cal finals, we're totally awesome. no one can

touch us - like - they don't even get close!
