STILL LANDSCAPE by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: DAWN'S AUGER DRILLS METALLIC SKY
Last Line: IT MUST BE LOVELY UNDERGROUND.

DAWN'S auger drills metallic sky.
This is a misty wilderness place.
The hills are olive silences
Bordered in bluish haze of lace.

Still landscape leads into the soul.
Dawn's auger drills without a sound.
An olive silence makes me feel
It must be lovely underground.
