Little Mountain

Little Mountain mountain
more big hill
until you walk up an hour
wander round top
hour back down
in 14 inch snow
bladder full
seven hikers
wide white expanse
narrow trunk trees
no hiding leaves
but worth it
for cleansing cold
eyewash white
body bold
deer tracks
cliff cracks crawled
and moment on top
in silent stillness
ice crystals floating on air
in bright sun
stars exploding
bursting through the meat heat
of wealth and want and fame.
