Approaching the Last Season and She Enters an Inuit World - Two Poems By Lara Gularte

APPROACHING THE LAST SEASON

Time to live with wings.

Tips pierce her skin, she bleeds.

Moon fills the room with primal shining

as dying stars rest on her breasts.

She's half dressed,

head tucked under a pinion.

In a breeze her future

passes through the window.

Flutter of trapped wing beats

in her rib cage.

The hand inside herself

reaches out,

plucks her from the earth,

tosses her into sky.

First published in the The Bitter Oleander

SHE ENTERS AN INUIT WORLD

She escapes into the wild to get away from people. The animal inside gnaws her ribs to free itself, as the mountain rises off its haunches, and thunder growls in greeting. Ache of bone, marrow of memory, pain cleaves, pulls her into the primal gene pool.

In sleep she dreams of finding eggs in high grass. At midnight the moon devours the mountain raw. The sky holds stars of animal skulls, skeletons of old friends. The savage of her heart wakes. The buck tilts its rack, and she's at his throat.

She lives for flesh off the bone. With only spirits in a soup pot, she wakes each morning hungry.

In the meadow she's on heels and paws, wrapped in pelts, her knapsack stuffed with animal tracks, crouched over old bones, mud, and ash.

Darkness gathers in the grass. The wind blows dust, turns the landscape imaginary, a doe invisible. The sun leaps from the paws of a mountain lion, its warm mouth on her neck. As the cat's grip tightens, she looks up at herself in the sky.

Rock garden

I always find a strange beauty in the enormous granite outcroppings arising out of the earth around the area of Folsom Lake. According to one source(PDF link), the Folsom granite is about 128 million years old; I grew up seeing large granite rocks like these all over the Sierra foothills, so they are both familiar and mysterious to me. They come in many shapes and sizes — some are so flat you…

The Men Of China Hill

One doesn’t usually see hills within prison walls. Prisons are customarily built upon flat ground. This allows the surrounding gun towers to have a clear, steady line of sight upon the perimeter, ensuring a clear shot towards any desperate convicts who might choose to make a break for the wall. Folsom Prison, unique in so many ways, is perhaps the only prison in America to have a hill within its walls. Called China Hill, it sits nestled within the Western bend of Folsom’s granite walls, peering down upon the compound below.

Rumor has it that China Hill was named after the migrant workers who helped build Folsom Prison. They quarried the granite stones into the one-ton blocks that eventually became the formidable, 30-foot wall that would envelop the notorious prison for the criminally insane. In the late 1920‘s, once the work of quarrying was completed and the wall erected, China Hill became the only open land within the walls of Folsom.

Historically, food grown for an inmate population was either tilled on land outside the prison, where low-security inmates could be used for labor, or purchased from local growers. China Hill presented a unique opportunity to the prisoners of Folsom. Because it was located within the perimeter, the high security prisoners, accustomed to labor in confined areas, could be used to grow fruits and vegetables in order to supplement the meals in the chow hall.

The hill was terraced and fruit trees were planted. Depending upon how one chooses to define employment, inmates were hired or forced to till the soil and grow squash, peppers, tomatoes, peas, corn, lettuce, pumpkins, and beans. It was a win-win situation for the prison authorities: cheap labor with subsequently cheap food, and happy inmates who had the opportunity to perform fruitful labor outside their 40 square foot cells. This mutually beneficial arrangement remained in place for many decades.

By the time I got to Folsom Prison in 2007, there were no longer any fruit trees on China Hill, and it was covered with the knee-high grass typical of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The stories as to why inmate agriculture on China Hill was shut down vary and they depend upon the people telling the story.

According to inmates, there was an incident that happened on China Hill in the late 1990’s. A dispute between two drunk convicts eventually led one to kill the other with a shovel, and the man who perished bled beneath the shade of one of the hill’s many fruit trees. The guard in the gun tower adjacent to China Hill said that he may have been able to stop the incident, or, at the very least, get medical attention to the victim, were he able to see what was going on. Instead, the incident went unnoticed by the gunner, thanks, in part, to the restricted view through the trees. As a result, the trees were cut down. Some inmates think the trees were cut down simply because prison officials were tired of the convicts making pruno, prison wine, and the best way to stop that was to remove their unregulated access to fruit.

Undoubtedly, these stories have an element of truth in them, though they do not explain why inmates weren’t allowed to continue growing low-lying vegetables like squash and beans. My guess, if I were to make one, is that China Hill could no longer support the increasing prison population, and, simultaneously, it became cheaper to purchase food from the industrial food market. All of these circumstances combined and resulted in the closure of China Hill to prison agriculture. This doesn’t mean, however, that China Hill ceased to produce food.

My first job at Folsom Prison was as a landscaper, and I was assigned to the unit atop China Hill. There were about twenty of us up there and our job pretty much entailed weed-whacking. China Hill was covered with grass and weeds and it was our assignment to make sure that it didn’t get out of control, i.e. tall. Our work day was a bit longer than 6 hours, yet we were only expected to work for two or three of them. For the remainder of the day, the guard, who was our supervisor, would let us do whatever we wanted. And that included gardening.

Technically, we weren’t allowed to garden, but that didn’t stop us from doing it. The unspoken agreement between the guard and the inmates was that we would keep China Hill from becoming a jungle and he would pretend that he didn’t see any of our vegetables growing there. It was fine enough motivation to keep the guys working.

The vegetables we grew were few, and none of them made their way into the chow hall’s meals. We had squash, chile peppers, bell peppers, watermelon, green onions, and tomatoes. China Hill was divided up into sectors, just like the prison yard. Black guys had the land in one spot, the Southsiders in another, the white boys near the Southsiders, and the Others near the Blacks. It sounds very divisive and, in a way, it was, but at the same time it was peaceful.

If the Blacks didn’t have squash seeds, they could trade with the whites for them. If the Southsiders wanted to eat some peppers with their burritos, they could trade a watermelon to the others. Food on China Hill, just as throughout the entire prison system, was the currency of trade. It just so happened that our food was good, it was fresh, and we grew it. Top Ramen may have purchased myself a cigarette in the cellblock, but it wouldn’t get me a pepper on China Hill.

The guys on the yard would get jealous when we’d tell them how we’d eaten watermelon that day. Many of the men we lived with hadn’t tasted a watermelon, a bell pepper, or a squash in decades. We, the men of China Hill, knew that we had something special, but there was no way it could be shared with the rest of Folsom’s population. Any food we grew was strictly prohibited from leaving China Hill and we were stripped naked on the way back to the cellblock in order to ensure that it remained that way. Bend, squat, cough.

There was another aspect of working on China Hill that wasn’t usually shared with the fellas on the yard, which nonetheless made it one of the best jobs in Folsom Prison. It was the peace. It was the potential for solitude. It was the lack of noise. It was the feeling of belonging to the Earth, and having a small part of it belong to me, to us.

My plot was about a 30 foot by 30 foot square and I had dug small irrigation trenches all about it to make watering easy. When I would get to the hill in the morning, I would turn the water on at the spigot and let it fill the trenches slowly while I went off to work. When I was finished a few hours later, I would bring my lunch down to my plot, sit on the bare earth, and watch the plants grow. I’d watch the bees go from one orange, squash blossom to another, and I’d watch hornets pick up little balls of mud from the edges of the trenches and carry them off to their homes. I’d pinch any dead leaves off my plants and place my watermelons and squash on beds of rocks to keep them from getting rotten on their undersides.

And I would just sit. From the bare patch of dirt in my garden, I could look over the wall to the south and see the free world outside. I could look over the electrified fence on the northern perimeter and see the river and the granite cliffs it had carved out over many millennia. I could feel the wind and place my hands in the mud. From China Hill I could see the horizon, something very few prisoner ever get to see. These were moments of peace. My time with the vegetables was also the only time I had to myself because once I left China Hill for the day I had to reenter the world below me. I had to return to the cacophony that was the cellblock, the yard, and the restrictive space that was my cell.

One day, an announcement was made to the men of China Hill. The gate that we normally passed through in order to get to and from work was going to be undergoing construction and we’d be forced to use a different one. Initially, this didn’t seem like a big deal, but it became a big deal once we started to use the detour gate.

They stopped strip searching us at the new gate. We just received a pat down. That’s it. Because of the wide-open nature of the temporary gate, the guards were unable to strip us out of our clothes before letting us back into the cellblocks. Imagine our excitement.

Suddenly, bell peppers started making their way into the cuisines being cooked in Folsom’s cells. Fresh jalapenos were included in homemade burritos. Lifers had a watermelon for the first time in decades and, for many of them, the last time in their lives. My cellee and I watched “Prison Break” on t.v. and munched on fresh peas. One cell even had a small pumpkin in it, sitting atop the bookshelf, perhaps reminiscent of the occupant’s fall decorations back home.

We were never able to smuggle enough vegetables for entire meals. We smuggled in morsels. We smuggled in happiness. We smuggled in the momentary taste of freshness. We smuggled in the rekindling of long-lost memories...taste-memories, memories of freedom, memories of the last time somebody had eaten this vegetable or that. We smuggled in something worth sharing.

The vegetable smuggling lasted for maybe one or two months. I was transferred to a different job in the welding shop shortly before the newly constructed gate was completed, at which point the strip searching resumed. But for those four months, the men of China Hill brought the farmer’s market down to the cellblock. I bet there’s still a few men in Folsom Prison today who joyfully recall the last time they ate a watermelon. They ate it in their cell and, for that moment, they were free again.

In California, it is the sixth-largest city while in the country; it is the ninth-largest city. California is well known for its beautiful scenery and natural attractions, with Sacramento playing an important role in this. Sacramento is always overshadowed by the flashy coastal cousins. Various factors make it interesting to live in Sacramento. Here are to reasons as to why living in Sacramento is interesting.

1. It is a city of trees

In most of the city’s downtown streets, there are trees lined hence providing a luxurious canopy that gives the city a beautiful image. Besides, the trees provide shade and protect the residents from the hot sun during summer seasons.

3. Conducive Climate

When you live in Sacramento, you will not experience harsh climatic conditions like very cold winters and very hot summers. The climate in the region is mild because the city hardly snow during the winter season. During steamy summers, the steam is mellowed away by the more cooling breezes which blow in through the delta. If you are carving for some snow, then you can get it during the winter season by driving only some miles away from the city. The delta breeze makes the residents enjoy the cool breeze throughout.

4. There are rivers everywhere

Sacramento is a city of rivers; therefore, boating, rafting, and kayaking are some of the common activities that people do for enjoyment. The rivers contribute to the beauty of the city. If you are a fan of skimming, then the Sacramento River scene is a perfect place to immerse yourself in. If you do not like getting into the water, then taking a bike ride or a jog on the American River Parkway is also an option. The parkway runs for 23 miles along the shores of America.

5. Food is affordable

Food is not expensive in Sacramento as it is in some of its neighborhoods, such as California. This is because Sacramento is endowed with fertile land, and there are many farms, vineyards, orchards in the city. Farming is one of the economic activities of the capital of California. The city produces much of what the country eats. Some of the foods that come from Sacramento include rice, beef, almonds, and many other delicacies.

6. Various outdoor activities

There are various outdoor activities that you can conduct in Sacramento apart from the mentioned ones that you can do in the rivers. The city is besieged with parks, and the famous one is Land Park downtown. You can never miss an outdoor activity that you can do every weekend or when you are free. The Sierra foothills, which are just nearby the city, offer you a beautiful place for hiking. The Folsom Lake is a perfect place for sunbathing, water-skiing, and also swimming.

7. Low-population density

The population of Sacramento is not too big; neither is too small. It has a medium population density, which sits at around 500,000. However, it is a cosmopolitan city that hosts people of different races and religions. There is no overcrowding in Sacramento city as it is in many of the biggest cities in the country. This makes it an exciting place to reside in.

The city is a city of art and culture, and this is evident when you take a walk through the city. There are art walks and live cultural music of Second Saturdays Philharmonic and Opera and Sacramento. If you are a fan of art, then Sacramento is the place to live.

9. Improved Security

Sacramento is one of the safest cities in the country as there are no extreme cases of crimes and theft. There are no gangs in the city as the security agencies work hard to ensure that residents in the region live safely. The crime rates in the city are low because it is not overpopulated and there are no suburbs.

10. Excellent transport channels

The transport infrastructure of Sacramento is a classic one. There are various transport channels that you can use to move from one place to the other. There are also airlines that will help you fly from one state to the other or even outside the country. The cost of transport in Sacramento is cheap because the average cost of a bus around town ranges between $1 and $2.

Friday

It’s July 4th weekend (also just my regular weekend). Today I rode with Nate to get ice cream at Mitsuwa because it was open!!!!! Hurray.

We had somewhat of a late start because 1) tired 2) my rear wheel was out of true and I had to swap it for the other one (thanks for this wheel, Jacob). I was gonna ride 47x15 but instead it ended up being 47x14. I switched from 19t to 15t the other day when I got a fresh chain but I guess that wheel has been out of true for a while from all my 19t distance rides. Distance rides must also be why my chain wore out so quickly.

Instead of the usual boring ass route, we went to Crystal Springs Reservoir (stopped by Pulgas Water Temple) and on Cañada to 84 to Alameda de las Pulgas and from there the regular route (Foothill, Homestead, Stevens Creek, etc).

Notes: - I was under the impression that the Daly City portion would be no problem-- Skyline (along the 1) to Southgate to Callan to Westborough to Skyline (wow I never realized it was the same Skyline! Next time I’ll just try and keep going on Skyline) where we got on Crystal Springs trail. This was a misconception. The hills. were. nontrivial. Callan is nontrivial. - After this, we rode the trail where there were many people, and we exited because we were tired of biking around people. Took the same detour I did last time around the edge of San Mateo, then rode along the freeway (whoops, I mistakenly thought it was more interesting than it was), before getting back on the trail. - Then took Cañada to the Water Temple, where we read some signs, id’d some plants, etc. Continued on past Filoli, then dipped into 84 Southbound just to look at the Woodside Library Native Garden that I visited last time; there is indeed more garden behind the library but it was not open due to COVID. I will return after it is open. - Took 84 Northbound; reached Alameda de las Pulgas, biked along the boring road that cuts through all the towns of South bay. Roadies were all around us. At one point there was a very fast woman who I kept trying to chase down but I never caught her. But that was fun! - Eventually got to ice cream. From there biked to Sunnyvale Caltrain which is always a gross and annoying ride because Lawrence Expwy. At least we did not get lost this time. - Caltrained home and rode to Bernal for kicks. I’ve never really ridden in Bernal because I know I can’t handle those hills. Today I proved this theory. Anyway I managed to ride up Cortland from Prentiss to Folsom (I had to walk up from Bradford to Prentiss lol). Then took wiggle home.

What did I learn from today: - As a devout fixed gear rider, I have to say that I recognize that riding up 10% inclines is just not what fixed gear is for. Well, maybe I just shouldn’t do it on 47x14. Is it personal weakness? Or is this just an improper use of a bicycle / unnecessary wear on the drivetrain/wheelset/everything? - I need to stop underestimating terrain. Why did I forget that Callan is actually kind of brutal??? - I need to stop overestimating my mileage. I thought we covered at least 80 miles but it turned out to be just over 70. Bah! Also Strava accidentally ended my ride in the middle so I just gave up and didn’t turn it back on because who cares. - Most of all, I need to get back to just exploring shit. Riding around pointlessly. Trying different routes. - Even more importantly, I need to actively be in Zone 2-3. I am always riding in some stupid Zone 1 nonsense.

Oh also when we were leaving Bernal and crossing Mission, I cut over to get onto Valencia and rode into the path of an oncoming bus and legit thought I would die but I guess I squeezed by because there was exactly enough room for me and my *wide bars* between the bus and the curb. In retrospect I should have just jumped the curb. Definitely one of my top five moments of dangerous riding. Should not repeat.

Serrano Country Club El Dorado Hills CA

Iâm not a wedding guy.

When it comes to witnessing two people say, âI do,â I try to say âI wonâtâ as often as possible. In fact, I find weddings just slightly more appealing than having my fingernails pulled out, as the unwarranted expense, dressing in uncomfortable technicolor outfits (what is this thing tied around my neck choking me?!), and waitingâ¦waitingâ¦still waiting just for some rubber chicken and faking to have a good time on the dance floor until I could sneak out isnât my definition of a good time.

I know, Iâm extremely âglass half fullâ when it comes to attending weddings, but you only get married three or four times in your lifetime, so I guess itâs a must at times.

However, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I recently attended a good friendâs wedding at the Serrano Country Club in El Dorado Hills. I actually even had a good time!

I was as surprised as you that I ended up with a smile on my face after flying into Sacramento, CA last week to be a groomsman in my main manâs wedding ceremony (I wonât mention any names to preserve their privacy â and because I stole all the little fancy soaps from the bathroom). Of course, a large part of that was because I got to catch up with my old crew, but it was also because of the jaw-droppingly gorgeous venue.

For those of you who donât know, El Dorado Hills is a high-end community in the rolling hills about 22 miles east of Sacramento, on the way to the foothills of Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. Itâs also absolutely gorgeous landscape, especially in early October â the best time of year in Northern California since it tends to be right around 80 degrees and sunny every day and just crisp and cool enough to throw on a sweatshirt at night.

And, if El Dorado Hills is the jewel of NorCal, then Serrano Country club is the best of the best. Itâs a signature 72-hole golf course, four pro-grade tennis courts with lights for night play, a beautiful swimming pool, spa, and all of the amenities you could want like restaurants, golf shops, etc.

It also has a luxurious clubhouse with dining and banquet rooms perfect with weddings, with floor to ceiling windows and doors, patios and balconies, and lounges adorned with comfortable leather chairs and fireplaces.

The wedding ceremony took place outside around 5 pm, with the sun gently setting and a once-in-a-lifetime view from the 800-foot-high hillcrest of the course fairways, treetops, huge Folsom Lake further down the hill, and the Sacramento valley far off.

After the ceremony, we adjourned to the banquet hall and dining area, where we enjoyed drinks, appetizers, and music while we enjoyed the 270-degree view of the sun going down. The staff were fantastic from start to finish, and Serrano is still only a $10 Uber ride back to Folsom, where I stayed for the night (after having a few adult beverages).

Iâm still not a wedding guy, but I canât wait to see the photos of the beautiful backdrop and scenery of the Serrano Hills Country Club.
