Ohhhhh Part 2 - Small Sur

If Russell was a plant he

Would surely be a tree

And in my backyard standing

A cottonwood would be

Or maybe dogwood flowerin'

Wedged between sand, sky, sea

His bark would wink in knowing

It stood there safely

And then my friends would join him

Leave in peace there we could

Weeds shrubs all roots conjoining

There in my western wood

How we would grow together

Our leaves would fall in time

And on our trunks deep carvings

Each other’s names
