Return of the Native


Return of the Native

Raised in sight of several islands
on the shores of a vast inland sea,
I spent a decade on the desert
waiting for Guffman, or my star
to show up on the boulevard—
coming to my senses I returned
to the Ring of Fire, laced lush with
forests, mountains, and actual ocean.
