Last Walk

Lizards scatter with small stones

as he trips up the mountain road,

kalderimes are too bumpy now.

 

 

He's been here before

a thousand feet above nut town 

where crumbling churches 

send peels of God down 

to the sea. 

 

He's been here before.

 

'Are there cicadas?....  I don't hear them.'

 

 

Higher...

 

White scree falls recall…

sodden sum...
