the mountain

by Richard Trotter

Unaware, she took the last strand of summer
threw it in the air, doomed to fall upon me
its shrapnel carved scars in a bearded rock
whose strength is nought in isolation
the seconds are dying, time not spent
watching them compete for her smile.

You had me at "threw it in the air." That just built the energy for the whole piece. Nice work.
