There are whole countries
being born and dying above us
mountains building and valleys crumbling
dissolving in floods and storms
invisible winds
clumps of air like roman bricks
no warning
seagulls for citizens
and shafts of white light
who explore the downy slopes
finally teetering off round edges to their demise
in murky depths below
dreams dashed on earth’s unbelieving.
