I crawled onto the face of living stones
packed with the day bending backbones
the air thinned all men into vapors
as the brisk balance sent souls running
a magpie followed this movement up
he told every other wing person to come
we all dreamed into the evergreen bliss
it was here where our fortune would face
never turned around behind salted shapes
only with a song in the heart of a cedar tree
dropping cones in the cup like abstract seas
would we slip to the crest of resting or go
straight to the top of the great Mt. Nebo
