“‘Oregon’ was written on a trip to Ashland. We were renting a casita on this big property where all these hippies lived. It’s a bit of a sensory abstract poem that just sort of emerged.
I think the imagery is my own from the I-5 corridor, seeing the lush green flora, very pagan-beautiful, natural imagery of the state, contrasted with the scraps of humanity strewn around. And the progressive culture of Portland.” - Sam Weber
Oregon, whoever I am found a part of me in you
Pink lace in the underbrush on the side of the road
Grew my food from Mother Earth god damn
my flow was true
