Will I discover song under this
rock? Only the
moss will tell – Will I
know the meaning of root this
morning? Only
the rock-song will tell –

Found the songs first
in little pieces
under a stone. Took all my strength
to gently roll the stone
and prod them outbut behind the yellow piss-pine
crouched the trickster, waiting
to put a mountain there.
