| A mountaintop dissected. |
Top of the mountain
where bears slept
where gods awoke
where hawks turned
in a widening gyre
over the loud river
where humans stood
for millenia
dizzy and bristling
with the long view
disappearing now
trucked away
to make room
for taller trains
and a new river
of commerce
which lawmakers
call stimulus
and I call myopic.
