a passage

for jonathan greene

you do not believe that bridge but cross it

mountain holiness churches falling down

mountain hollow skin

junkers a garden

he tells you how to leave the hollow he wont

what lifes like on this mountain on that mountain

mountains lie down its the afterlife

in these mountains his radios a radio-telescope

the mountains grow dark & other worlds visit

mountain hawk how a person can fly

perfect silence speaking in tongues

an abandoned mountain house comes up to the road

4 mountains between 2 mountains then 3 mountains between

one mountains ridges

gas-pump & a glass case for cut meats

black&-white coal miner flag

10 $

gas & general store & teenage girl disappear

an iron latch & then youre in the general store
