mountain reduced to a hill
trail engineered in rectangular stones
paved roads for let’s-not-walk-ers
highest branches gold-leafed in winter sun
ill-conceived papering over
legitimate truths the land retains
original structure waits
on humanity’s fall
long hibernating roots quiver to rise
instar & eft turkey & hawk
hare skunk moose deer fox bear weasel
people the archived slopes
trails gutter paved roads breach
mountain of glacial rock graven stone
