KLICKITAT HILLS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: These are no fat
Last Line: With loneliness.
Subject(s): Mountains; Hills; Downs (great Britain)


These are no fat
And pampered hills
With streams and trees
To serve their wills.

Soil-denuded,
Blanched by suns
To semblances
Of skeletons;

Great ribs showing
Through a thin,
Taut-stretched acreage
Of skin;

Each year more gaunt,
More eagle-browed;
Yet arrogant, somehow,
Uncowed,

And so refined,
So honed by stress,
They break the heart
With loneliness.
