river into mountain/

©2021 Michael Raven

lines stretch out to
the north the north the north
fly agaric my blood cut steaming
through the flurries falling
ride the eight and i
is nine 

kiss my winter
fire burn my soul
carry me to the mountain

one doorway left my falling
through stone sun you
eyes hollowed, hallowed
whole as i hold onto you
picture the drifts clouds 
on water flowing flowing home
river into your mountain
stone here for you
