Crampton Gap Shelter II 1000'

by firelight
          drinking whiskey
pass around the bottle
          pass around the joint
easy conversation
          music in the night

liquid burns
smoke burns
daylight burns
muscles burn

          sassafras and birch tea
forest is deep dark
          alive
snap of distant fire works
          towns below

it's fourth of july
          high in the appalachians

AT Poems VIII
