The mountain child —

a fragment of the mountain —

plays in the lap of the mountain

 

Toddling up the mountain

he plants his feet in the mountain soil

to rise like a mountain

in the land of mountains

 

The whole mountain

lives inside the mountain child

And in the lap of the mountain

lives the scurrying mountain child

 

The mountain child sees

a plane flying over the mountain

And he asks his father —

What is that bird?
