edge of the mountain

towards its shadow

the stone rolls

searching for treasure

beneath the old stone 

forgotten purpose

in ancient keys still tangled

with memories and dust

river fell silent 

i stumble upon the stone

of my childhood

beyond the rock arch

waves wear away prints

from a bygone age

the strange beasts and tribes

who roam these hidden isles

a balancing act

against

a waterfall of pain

to an island keep

Furuya stone…

My mind wanders

through your veins

with limestone rills

pulling me higher

so many valleys

for a sunlit stone

ancient mountain— 

the waterfall hums 

its ​silence

heart tunnel— 

the wind carries 

a scent of rain

stone tunnel— 

from darkness to light 

I walk slowly 

leaving behind 

what will not follow

built to no avail

another sandcastle—

lessons unlearned

loaded silence…

two alien giants wrestling

for dominance

the many contours

of my aging mother

an old dog sits 

by the petrified tree stump 

nose buried 

in a knothole 

sniffing what's left of the past

oncoming storm 

we head for the roughly-hewn heart 

of the mountain 

hoping her gods 

will watch over us

long night…

what words can’t say

shadow play

quest of quietude

banishing the blues

moon on the mesa
