Altitude
Lily nestled in stone In scent and silence, altitude, Time is.
Drifting snow suspended, Invisible world beneath Time is burning.
Cellular decay, descent Terminal erosion, she falls Time is burning her.
Shifting earth to flame, Invisible world beneath Fire-born, she ignites,
A mountain blossoms Into scent and silence, altitude, Time is.
