~steady the terrain~

the gently rising and expanding earth

on the downhill,

what birds must feel

how they gaze at the earth's

inward breath

on the downhill glide

of their travels

interesting visiting such lands

as breathing

beating planets do

in their spirals toward

--pit-stops--

on their ways to infinity ?

perhaps

to write lines to

denote the passage

of a ~downhill

~peace
