On the sign:
diagonal plane of low grey white cloud moving
across the green of the ridge, invisible song
sparrow calling from scotch broom in the left
foreground

woman on phone planning to start
embroidering shirt with scarlet "no," noting
that she is still in possession of two ears

shirtless man leaning back against a white
pillow on a stone wall, shadow of circular
orange flower moving back and forth across
brick-red plane.

Charles Tansley thinking
"women make civilization impossible," Lily
Briscoe liking his blue eyes
empty blue sky
reflected in nearly motionless plane below it,
cormorant flapping from the channel toward it

-Stephen Ratcliffe

Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

The current plaque features a poem written by the American poet Stephen Ratcliffe (1948), who studied at the University of Berkeley and even did his doctoral thesis there
