Come live in ‘The Forest’
Just found this poem I scrawled in a notebook March 20, 1989 while looking for a home in the Colorado Rockies near Glenwood Springs, after being hired to establish and man a Western news bureau there for the Denver Rocky Mountain News:
We like the scenery
so we pull it all out
flatten the hills
& scrape the landscape clean
& put up matchstick condos with rustic cedar siding
& sell them for too much, unit by unit,
to people eager to live
in: The Forest
a project whose name
evokes only memories
of the majesty of
what once stood in its place.
