I think about the mountain


Everything was on sale.

The Antique shop

Was to close on Friday.

Dividing upon entrance, we sifted through the debris

Myriad of minute gestures

Small stones left behind on someone else’s shelves.

A noise of silenced memories.

 

I believe I got a bargain on the handmade book crafted

From printer paper and wallpaper,

A boy with a feather in his hat cut out and pasted on the cover.

The other book with illustrations of plants

prefaced with a quotation:

“Do you not think that all life comes from the mountain?”
