Red Mountain

red mountain stands still black ribbon cuts between you aren't always still not if by faith I can cast you into the sea still is never forever but still we are not so long have I not been the traffic cutting between still to know something I would cast you into the sea but these problems I need red mountain big rough ugly barren pile of rocks you comfort me vultures, ravens, and crows soar up your slopes roost on your ridges nest in your craggy clefts don't worry stone mamma I command you to be still forever poor scavengers and I need you this ceaseless stream of fud dividing us I cast into the sea with my little mustard seed red mountain lie still with me
