The melody of fallen grass, gathered now a staccato thrum of diesel and the rumours spread by crickets and katydids What would you do with a ticking clock poised above you? Don't touch me now, it still hurts just watch the deer, and remark on the way she touches paper as though it were a touchscreen waits patiently for printed signs to scroll; that's the tragedy of a life above glass that's the call of the untrammeled woods that's the smell of a home in a mountain ruin. There's a way of walking these switchback paths to transcend locomotion eyes sweeping the paths like a monk's brush when do the leaves stop being beautiful? Not in spring's flourescence, nor the summer opalescence of shade attacked by a blunderbuss not autumn's livid flush of rage in the face of time But after the snow, perhaps they are a little less than leaves not quite plum-rich earth just a place to stand, and marvel at a life beneath emerald skies a mown lawn, not made to tread.
