A mountain has eyes
On the mountain / Mt. House / Feb. 2010
Anthropomorphism has its place. It's
a starting point, at least. So, I'll say

and whatever happens after that

Watery springs gossip sweet news, gurgling
falling from my throat, calling,

here; I Am/Mountain all around, above,
below, within. Come, there is nowhere to go...
I AM/singing, the Sound that is always here...~ an excerpt from How to Talk with a Mountain by Elaine Maria Upton
