Mt. Bischoff Mine

(for A. Groza)

We clambered over auburn rocks,
avoiding trips and breaking falls
whilst contemplating  silver veins
That may still lie beneath the hill

We traveled back e'er we'd gone far,
as cloaking night exhumed the light
and ne'er did we approach again
that ancient mine, whose oxide slopes

and sparsely vegetated hills
will, to this day, my thoughts entrap
