Another Sunday by the Stacks

The snow-capped mountains
                     move again
And crash again
          before the babies feet

They are drawn in
          by a magnetic pull
                      to earth
          and to this point
                      of sand

Where nothingness
          appears to form
                      as a kind
          of dissolving

All the force the illusion
          had contained
                       breaks
It will carry reeds to shore
                       but crush
          what holds its weight

So the continuous life
                       grinds under
          what's no longer
                       alive

Hundreds stand on the shore
           multi-colored
                       in the mist
Watching as that which is
           most familiar
                       becomes
           again a mystery
