when the snow lets go
Taken on July 1st while walking a high alpine ridge between Breckenridge and Copper (Segment 7 of the Colorado Trail).
:
when the snow lets go
:
do you see
how it clings
to edges
of rock
:
certainty and power
worshiping locks
:
it seems
that it knows
to melt
what it was
:
binaries break
universal laws
:
rushing
streams
nourishment
for all
:
healing wounds
and
crumbling
walls
:
I drafted this poem while slowly making my way up and over the mountains above. Snow in early July - its story, existence, and purpose - eventual and necessary nourishment for all life on Earth.
