On The Other Side

This mountain has a darkness seen only in dreams

And a pull downward not even trees can resist,

All paths disappear, the sky seeps away, the hiker

Becomes heavy, clambering over time-charred

Branchless giants fallen hemlocks pointing down.

The bears of this mountain are enchanted too

They do not hunt honey or barberries but wait like

Buddhas for those who leave the campfires and cabins

To climb long hours in the falling dark,

Who come finally to wait, fierce lovers in dream skins,

Sitting on the flat-topped rock, smiling into the teeth

That flash like falling stars.
