Keats Walked Here

  Keats Walked Here

The mountainside outshines the twilight force

Above the highway and its cars.  Their glass

And chrome presumably reflect the gorse,

Dark green and yellow, from the mountain pass

Back up, but weakly; colored echoes are

Too feeble.  Bog plants made of subtle gold

And other autumn lights reduce the scar

Scraped harshly by a glacier.  These tints scold

The ancient violence and turn it to

Pastel brocade, enrobing cliff-sheer face

In rich, concealing mask.  Eons eschew

The evidence of cataclysm’s mace.

..This overhang was there when men placed stones

….In circles here below like ragged bones.
