Cuillin Mountains, Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland
(assisted by Jolaoso Pretty thunder and Rara Tou Limen)
Behind mountains there be mountains
A song that has been singing for a long time
Remember, bow down before a westing flame
Earth is paying attention

you play pool
I swim in one
taste of honey
on my tongue
jumpin’ back
n’ jumpin’ up
put yer penny
in my cup
comes a man
all sweet n’ sure
ginger cookies
‘round my door
now I aim
fer sassy hips
soft wide lips
n’ crazy grips
sometime soon
we come to bark
a lover’s song
against the dark
(Homage to Gwendolyn Brooks and Paul Laurence Dunbar)
