Balloonatics over the Playa...
Pilar Woodman is a photographer based in San Francisco. Of the image, she says: This was my first ballon ride over the Playa in 2006. Many thanks to Jeff Haliczer and the beauty
of volunteering, and great luck! The second ride was the morning of
the burn, untethered, from way outer playa, up and over the City, to
about ...7
o'clock on the outer ring. we were part of what had to be one of the
slowest speed chases ever. Jeff had tried to get everything approved,
but after too much rigamarole, just flew his balloon, and we had the
brc rangers, the blm rangers, and the Nevada state police following us
for the 30 or so minutes we were in the air. Hahaha, awesome.

The hills can tellby how flat your eyes are
how near a thing has become.
Dogs and wolves share a denning instinct.
To dig down.
The straw is a calendar.

Beatific, shock-white frostjagged around the edge of the leaf. Moon,
your daughter is the tip of my tongue.
But in the moonlight
she has not been heard.

On the bus, we catch each other to the point of acknowledgmentthen turn away.
One man waits with an unlit cigarette on his lip.
The soft side of his wrist tattooed
with an ideogram. Silver links of his watchband

A butterflydarkens. Lowers itself from the massive white cloud
migrating north toward the Sahara.
The desert is moving south.

“For Three years out of key with his
time”
There was a time I thought that a poem could
Be done & not abandoned, finished not
Just left inside a file cabinet
Like an old tax return, the debt
Outstanding, lingering, a time I thought
By other than some arbitrary date
