The Weathering of Mountains

On the downstream bank

falling out

depositing itself

sand

along the meandering way

ox bow rivers and such

geological formations

the sizes of peninsulas or continents

on such a vast scale

we cannot see

the weathering of mountains

derived of human experience

perceptions of finite

less and lost

time and space

in the midst of this great land

the massive building of rock

stood wills people

beckons them

enter

colossal gates guarded

by the uncertainty of being.
