...A mountain sits
And a river flows
A mountain suffers her tears
And the infiltration of life

Wildflowers necklace it
As the goats dance up and down its rocky parts.

though honestly, I delight in any triviality.  
A thousand small things brighten my day.

In the futile triviality 
of the desolate wasteland,
a sunburnt solitary tree 
languished a long while,
cast nonetheless 
on the parched ground 
a sensuous shadow,
