Near Garrett on the Great Allegheny Pasaage |
Mountain day that never clears,
hilltops in clouds, horses in mist,
gathering rain spilling down rocks,
peacocks fanning in front of dark barns,
wheeling through the red-eyed trill,
rivers of birdsong leading me home.
–"Red-eyed trill" is a reference to 17-year locusts, now emerging east of Rockwood.
