But Butte

From Growtastic

Hairline cracks started on a granite end

splintering, pushing up dust

breaking, falling, rolling,

slipping down the slope bending dry grass

tufts of brush stir

animals race

steps scatter

dirt whisks

soft hills hiss in the sun

clean wash rushes from hidden streams

a whistle in the grass

a bird cries dully

messy lavender protrudes the air

wind carries fire across hills

new algae blooms

cotton shirts wick water

Valleys’ form and shape

shutters between the gelatin frames

flickers from the light behind

unattainable to grow on stock
