Summits

Not
ice when
earth touches
heaven and stars see
m to be in reach – times when
our eyes become confounded by massive
vertical structures and clouds see
m to merge with mountain peaks?

Not
as mere geological structures
nor barriers between you and XYZ
recognize mountains
as the living skin of this planet:
poetry
moving so slowly
it takes
millions of years
to see
