REQUIEM

Maternal mountain, curve him
In white arms.
Piercing wind carve him
On downy breast.
Glacier-melt, suckle him.
Granite-brow, guard him.
Ice burn around him.
Pure light shine above him.
In this land of rock and snow,
Mountain Eternal, preserve him.

Rest In Peace Duncan

MOUNT HUASCURAN – PERUVIAN ANDES JULY 20 2000
