Mountain Theme

In the end there was space and there was mountain.

Rebeccca? 

My name is Rachel, but yes?

We live on an island in outer space. It’s called, nevermind. Our air is neon yellow, orange, and slate. Are you OK with that?

Yes.

Would you prefer a water residence or one with a view?

Both, please.

Very well. Which patch would you like to call home? You can slide down any color at any time.

I like the tallest, please. Red.

We only have tan available. That was a trick question.

This is a little frustrating. Can’t you just take me there?

Of course. 

     Update:

I witnessed my first inverse sunset tonight. From the top of tan mountain where I can slide down into the ocean.

I have changed my name to Rebecca. But also go by Stan.

My children are to remain at home, on Earth.

I have brought my cat Bucky. (Purr Buckminster the Pony)

He is pleased with this location. And with the gorny weevils to chase.

Odyssey

anticipation. Obscured 

from Black Mountains 

by a ball 

on the 

floor. 

Built 

a cabin

out of sassafras.

Fireplace stones pop 

yellow from

knots.

We 

suck bark 

straws and smell

the wide open 

future. Mmmm.

Laughing.

Why 

didn’t we

do this sooner?
