Rabbit and Rose

Source

Earth-cold, water flows from the dark,
spills over tumbled stone at the cave mouth
through tangles of sun and shade, then into
channeled bedrock; it surges down
the long, slow bones of the mountain,
suffused with light and a faint tang of cedar
no descent however sheer can fully undo.
