You are the unknown country
Where travels the warrior
Weary from war. The sound of thunder
Reviews the desecration where
All sense of sanity is dulled.
He plods along, hoofs a-drumming
In a measureless docility. Horse and rider
Move along while the wind breeds
Its secret sorcery. Winding his way
Through orchard and vales
Coming upon the hillsides strewn
With grasses of fervor change.
After the orchards and the hillsides
The Earth rises in broken ligaments
And snaps into the impossible terrain
Up and above. The forest gets thicker here.
This fertile forest formidable where
No light enters from cedar to cedar.
Only vines above, below but thorns.
Voluminous undergrowth about
And around. Here are walls of speckled
Darkness, emerald darkness, crispy
Darkness whose soul is a violet leaf.

No skies define the mornings and afternoons
Unseen birds flutter with never a let-up.
Their rhythmic calls of peril and flight
Consume the seasons's perpetual recurrence.
In this needled darkness, a little light
