one never, ever, crests a rise
without killing off a pack of lies
the ugly lie: it’s all descent
belied by cold, granite torment
the pretty lie: continued gloom
skewered by rhododendrons in full bloom

DAILY PHOTO: And It Was All Yellow
Mountain Haiku
pounding drums
echo down the valley
birds calm
deep breath
fog dissipates
common peril
fog follows
will it catch us
before the pass
cow grazes
on the high trail
dispiriting
glaciers glow
in sunrise orange
forge iron, not
on the ridge
falls can be lethal
worth it
