Decomposure

The gray granite outcroppings loom
masticated mountains blasted yet brazen.
Their jagged ledges and softer heights
topped with rust brown and burnt orange maples.
Fog distances them 
 softens them 
as they seem to overlap
Recede ..into semi transparent wash
like the edges of a tissue paper collage.
Each layer 	seeming to de compose
into the next    each symmetrically
more exquisite than the next…
