Poetic Obituaries: In his poem, "Nightfall In the Jemez Mountains,"

he [Robert Lloyd] writes how stands of pines have calligraphic meaning: "only the brushstrokes/of these pines stand/over the closed circle . . . stars in clearings/overhead . . . over this closed circle/now without horizon/the evening cleared/to the closing black . . . blackness/only the eyes can read/kalligraphia/ in beauty it is written/in beauty it is written."
