Scree
Mt. Longonot, 1987
Pebbles, clattering
into the crater.
We, laughing, sliding,
generating avalanches
beyond our ken,
beyond our influence.
We had climbed all morning,
now were running ahead,
our friends taking the more leisurely
way around
watching the clouds from above.
Not for us, this introspection.
We dashed on
leaving the rockslides
to do what they would.
(For the weekend wordsmith.)
Nice to read your take on the scree....its says all without saying the word. Liked the colorful pics at flickr :)
