When I see the escarpment
When I see is a staircase going to the top
As I get closer I notice houses and caves
And I wonder how they got there?
Along the bottom,grass grows,
From one end to the other.
The escarpment in spring is a beautiful sight
Way above, I see the melting snow
Travelling down a zaigzag course
That Mother nature traces
Like a little waterfall flowing to the bottom
Running through a field, moving more rapidly
Becoming one body , growing stronger
Eventually reaching a stream
Above the venue of the lost
And the disappeared
The forgotten fall beneath the crags
Beneath a now and deep forever
Hanging onto the blade
Of the escarpment
Lost above the humming trees
And harrowed by sleep
They are lulled into this world of forgetting
Carried away by the wind like leaves
Their grip not strong enough
To be whoever they were to be
Equal and Opposite
In stone, fruit, thought,
breaking free like fugitive drops,
from arrest to arrest,
gravity punishes inclination.
Mechanic, escarpment-teethed
it grinds the inconstant glass
of orbital fall, mental elipse,
until the motive light again
leaps up, and on, out,
over, in, and through
trailing like a spray
the bright scarf
of un-Newtonian surprise.
