Artemis in Echo Park

By: Healy, Eloise Klein

"I turn out the driveway, point down the street, / bend where the road bends and tip down the hill. / This is a trail, even under asphalt. / Every street downtown cuts through adobe / and the concrete wears like the curve / of a bowl baking on a patio or the sway of a brick wall / drying in the sun. / The live before cement is ghosting up / through roadways that hooves and water / have worn into existence forever. / Out to Pasadena, the freeway still behaves / like a ravine, snaking through little valleys. / The newer roads exist in air, drifting skyward, / lifting off the landscape like dreams of the future. / We've named these roads for where they end- / Harbor Freeway, Ventura Freeway, Hollywood Freeway- / but now they all end in the sky"--
