SAN QUENTIN


As I cross the Richmond Bridge, 
through a frame of steel girders,
Mt. Tamalpais rises up like a blade 
against the clear throat of the sky
cleaving dawn into such tender pastels
even San Quentin Prison is dressed
in slatted candy box hues of bon-bon light.

The prisoners on Death Row
will not witness the event.
