Shan shui 山水

triangular ascent

white stones
and cairns

force of

and dried fishes

further on

"hard snow, high albedo" (Macfarlane)

two ravens
Huginn and Muninn

crossing with us a river of frozen edges and deepest green-black

white ice and black water
spume still and flow cavelike

Pyramids, he writes (mountains for him, but also monuments)
claim lives

as they rise  solar or
iceward and polar

the accessibility of the inaccessible

(dream-scoured nonsense)

frozen waterfall

deceptive
permeable pose
snakeskin sloughing still
for now
for the still

what is it at edge but inverse darkness
of river and shore?


Milarepa concentration of cold is frozen fall

or back into
to again walk out of
or like the kora

and

in all directions there will be met mountains, and rivers

going, as this road, on or in or around, with no other intention
