I’ve traveled the world
joshua trees in california
gingko trees in china
redwoods in oregon, black woods in germany
carved canoes from the salish nation
nordic ships crashing in the loamy sea
free water in south Dakota
red sea meets the black sea
the rocky mountains, the alps
new mountains in haze of ash and fire
the cloudy breaths of a mongolian yak on a hillside
a golden eagle hunting
whales breaching and calves frolicking
devil’s staircases, giant’s staircases
arctic tundra and desert scrub

I have never been these places
I have never seen these wonders

But I have the postcards
