Glencoe Park

“Peak”

Robert van Oort

          Inverted cascades twist
whispering orange hues,
          Ever maligned its tack
debunks peaceful slumber.

          Beads shimmer wetten brow
aches gesture spell far spent,
          Will it end desires now
never swears one more step.

          Curving up further still
restless burden heralds,
          Zenith completes mocking crown
unperturbed glancing down.
