childhood
ringed by mountains —
flatlands terrify
*
‘from whence
cometh my strength?’ —
the mountains
*
my dad’s painting
Mount Roland blue and craggy —
our favourite
*
in Peru
mountains are deities —
I lift up mine eyes
*
‘cloud catcher’
our local mountain
caught me too
*
four years
under The Pinnacle —
guardian
