Emboldened Rock Outcroppings
Most in-love-with-the-mountains people I have ever met.
Play in the woods? In one breath she’ll quote Chief Seattle
Navy-blue parka since time immemorial
Smooth and slow and in sync
Frontman in a blues ensemble.
Never been one to bite her tongue.
A spectral flying figure forbidden
Don’t ask your rivers and lakes to make money
“They lie too much.”
Forced to acknowledge modern realities.
Permissiveness Paradise seems deficient.
Paradise and how to survive it.
Preserving its cultish mystique.
Kyle the Stockbroker, and Chick the Tree God.
A distinct rime line snaking its way across.
Only tiny beads of light made it to a birch in a small clearing
DANGER! A rock surprise on the downhill face
Jaundiced ice stretches the entire way across a natural tollbooth.
White birches descend without using a rope.
Failed visualization wouldn’t necessarily spell disaster.
Thudded to earth. My giddiness
A whirling jig rock outcroppings and tree stumps
An uncut swath, and silently went
The kaleidoscope of shadow and light.
-Bill in Richmond (search phrase “Emboldened Rock Outcroppings”)
