Poem: Blue Snow
Outside:
Mountains are sleeping
changing colour when we are asleep, blue
snow is falling or is it rising?
Snow blue
mirroring that blue sky from daylight
blue mountain, blue snow, blue eyes
sunset never happened?
winter isn't here
blue represents eternity itself
mountain is the container of time, hence their magnificence
autumn leaves now soil
spring buds are coming...
what surrounds me is a body, an eternal body
more than function, more than appearance, more than...
Inside:
Conifer plantations are eating away at us
no access to land, no healthy food
no healthy mind, body and soul
Supermarket survives better than the village
we can walk the land, pastures and mountains
but no chance of cultivating...
the full spectrum of what life has to offer
do I awake or go back to sleep?
