In youth the road away from my home city went past an immense name made by ripping moss out from a side of a mountain.
It took sixty years to disappear.
The basque sheepherders who moved to Northern Nevada learned quickly that a shallow cut in the white bark of Aspen trees heals black.
Their words rot with the tree.
If I tried to shape earth to have the plants sprout into the letters of your name I worry that it would grow as if translated by a bad dictionary.
My name instead of yours.
