In the Heart of Rock Mountains
Despite all seasonal changes The heaviest snowfalls, or The most violent storms You keep lying flat on your belly With your head held high, like an enormous Deformed sphinx in full stillness This world’s most nonchalant audience Ever watching, ever wordlessly Blue Glacier Not a game between the eye and Light wave, but all the dust of A whole lost civilization frozen In the color of sea and sky Long before history began Sweet Fears Before rising with his long and thick pigtail Nurgaci openly proclaimed his seven bitter hatreds Against Ming China, which eventually made him The father of the Qing Empire... I do not have Such prestigious hatreds, except for only a few Hidden fears or, rather, non-fears: yes, I fear I don’t fear not being rich, not being Famous, not being powerful Not being physically attractive, not Being gifted or talented, not being Normally healthy and, in particular Not even being as poetic as I would Otherwise have wanted. Although absolutely Private, aren’t my fears sweeter than bitter? Rocky Mountains When his mother came to visit his family From the other side of this world, Michael Took her to Banff for the sight of blue glaciers In Columbia Icefield, a tour among Rockies Massive, mighty, magnificent as the human mind Some looking like castles in a nightmare Some like Titanics among icebergs Others like the haunches of dragons, Chinese Or otherwise, fighting on an ocean at dusk How come the trees are all so small. Are they Man-planted? Mother asked. No, because Of the harshest climatic conditions here, they Have only a couple of weeks to grow in a year Explained the tour guide, when Michael’s mind Was wondering in the more wintry wildness Near northern lights, where he could see Neither rocks nor mountains, where a single Flake turned his thought into blue glacier Image & License: Depositphotos_32738103_s-2015 (1).jpg |
