The hills Ever so high Grow higher As I lower Beside the river Beside the stream And dream or see A single leaf Still caught beneath A rock, stuttering As if alive On high bough Not boundless though Close for awhile Floating back and forth Until carried away And gone on Forever there And then The course of Course but more The desert Dead and dieing The stars some Black and bending Some gone some Yet born what is it That takes and gives So calculatedly carelessly So surely spinning Almost reckless like Then tbe mother said Almost motherless like Could be brain or stem Does not matter.
