Mountain Haiku
last warmth
cumulus clouds billowing
beyond the Appalachians
long mountain
a relentless wind
shatters the sky
in the bend
of the blackbird’s wings
the Appalachians
the blue
of the bare trees
distant mountains
slowly grinding down
the Appalachians
black vultures
live wire
this light
behind the Appalachians
tumulus of the sleeping giants
Appalachians in the distance
blackthorn blossoms
the mountain again becomes
clouds
dawn striking
the new mountain
thunderheads
upslope fog also the mountain
just beyond
long mountain
dame’s rocket
how many times can I say the blue in the blue mountain
