Now you can walk right over my words, literally--if you are in Portland, Oregon.

Buster Simpson and Peg Butler saw the construction of the MAX Orange Line as an opportunity to bring poetry to travelers. This public art project collected and impressed into concrete 121 mini poems.

You can find my contributions at two location:
On SW Lincoln, S side E of SW 2nd:
"Illuminated we float like fingerprints on glass".

And on SW Moody, E side & Tilikum Crossing Approach:
"Blackbird's red shows only on opened wings".
