two mountains reach down
cup the river in bedrock
eternal playmates

the mountains

the mountains watch us
grandparents in a chair
we play at their feet

the mountain curves down
cups the stream in bedrock –
eternal playmates

quicksilver stream
mixes gold and crimson leaves
coloring motion

tonight we huddle
blazing fire gives forth
all we require

a twisp of clouds
approach the silver face
a watching moon

disco moon

all eyes on the sky
this moon is a disco moon
campfires dance

the footpath scrambles
deeper into this ravine
stones tumble ahead
