Lizard ex/claims Indian Land.
A trace as tracing.
Red Lizard becoming sign on sign.
Bound up in space becoming place.
Time hovers as ghost immemorial.
As longing, as stones and bones.
Obverse of the sign: Geology Oregon:Abert Rim.
Sign faces US Highway 395, looking west over Abert Lake
Spirit guardians lean into Future,
grounding Abert Rim, one of the highest fault scarps
in US and the longest exposed fault scarp
in North America.
