poetic materialism

There's a lot of information to convey about geology, area history, water, land use, infrastructure, ecology, habitat, etc.  What I'd like to do is take all of this and process it as some sort of poetic expression in words and images engraved in stone benches along the trail...a combination of hieroglyphics, fossils, scientific texts and illustrations in free verse...



The air is a root.
The stones are filled with tenderness. bravo.
bravo. the stones are filled with air.
the stones are watery branches.
on the stones replacing the mouth
grows the skeleton of a leaf. bravo.
A stone voice face to face and foot to foot
with a stone glance.
the stones are tormented like flesh
the stones are clouds for their second
nature dances to them on their third nose.
bravo. bravo.
when the stones scratch themselves, nails grow
on the roots. bravo. bravo.
the stones woke to eat the exact
hour
