The Level

medieval soil
never forgotten 
by the hikers upon the mountain
there is a chance to hear a voice 
coming from the back of your head

footsteps left on the muddy ground
imprinted by each stone of your flesh

harsh words 
like a summer light
turned into unarmed reflections
naked like you

Beautiful and interesting. Your words transported me on a narrow path leading up to a ruined Welsh castle I visited years and years ago :) Amitiés
