orca colored mountains-- zebra colored mountains --panda mountains
yes serious mountains sit seriously
in the dry end-of-day-light your eyes let go their green
like a cloud of shining birds decided on a different tree
though they newly knit their nest, 
when they go, they can’t carry
O’ oh geodes for lungs
intone your bouldersong
oh you killer-whale mountain!
buried to your neck in sea and shell
when your fiery fist forged itself
a bandanna of ash over your face 
you gallop gun-glad all through the place 
and scatter the stones you expire
until your mighty monologue tires
Orca, Zebra, Panda Mountain
Looka, she's a serious mountain
Oh yeah, black and white, lava-drinkin', hard-workin' mountain
