LITTLE MOUNTAIN
taste of red blueberries
smell of pine
scrambling up / running down
Little Mountain trail
hands scrape broken rock
lichens crumble underfoot
& now the wind carries the small, still fffff
of the wind in low grasses;
& beyond that
the wind in trees;
& a crow
deep in the valley
across a swamp
flapping ahead of a truck
climbing up from the town.
