haiku hiking

The sun cleans my hair,
golden fingers caressing
my scalp like liquid.

The raven calls out,
a beggar looking for bread.
He eats noisily.

Snow falls, sweet on trees
like a silky white blanket
covering giants.

Rocks have hard faces
looking out on the soft world
weary from long years.

The mountains are wrapped,
swaddled in billowing mist
like creation’s edge.

I imagine God
on the edge of creation,
the black light to him.
