a view

Bruises of smoke cower in the valleys.

Morning bleeds up

To view the longitudes of a thousand serrated hills,

Remote peppercorns of thatch and whitewash

Scraped over grassy mounds

And footpaths littering the inbetweens.

 

Come the rainy season these hills

Will hemorrhage mud.

The alkyd ashes of belonging (and the walls)

will melt away.
