Small Hill

Small Hill. In a landscape with many hills there is a flat part that has a small hillock by the road. Two olive trees and four flat boulders arranged like furniture in a living room and a carpet of soft grass. Is it an abandoned movie set where the moon is a balloon? How many takes did the scene take? In life there is no retake we are expected to get it right reading from a script not yet written When building the road they put stones in a heap, dust and bird droppings made it into a small knoll. That´s the way it goes.
