On Hamilton Mountain (I) & (II)

On Hamilton Mountain (I) A speck of stardust, standing witness to geologic time; adrift in the dark and the vastness. Remembering beginnings. Remembering breath. Even though the depths are hidden, even though the path is wide, still, I know the fall. On Hamilton Mountain (II) Sheared away, cataclysmic handiwork of geologic time. Stand and witness the depths, the dizzying fall. Stand, grounded upon that citadel, a speck of stardust adrift in the dark of the vastness. Remembering beginnings, Remembering breath.
