the mountain looms 
in massy grandeur
waterfalls, passes
avalanches (like a verb)
eucalypt fringed

uncomplaining 
mama in her lounge chair 
wind from coal loader
grit on the water glass
inhaler by the bedside

kids can’t sit still 
(undiagnosed synaptic noise)
Getaway® on tv 
he comes in heavy silence 
hands her the letter
