Black mountain taken by Genie Nakano, Iceland
we’re late, we’re late
for a very important date
to climb the mountains
and swim the rivers
before they crumble and dry

Dear Chulepele:
Thank you for the comment. I hope to see you again.
This was a real shock to read it left me thinking and a bit fearful. It is such a powerful poem. It lingers in the mind with quite a dire message.
Great poem!
Good one, Genie! I remember I climbed Rainier in ’75. Willi Unsoeld,
one of the first 5 Americans to summer Everest, was killed by an avalanche
on his 50th assent of Rainier. I met him when he spoke in in LA circa 1979.
