Awaken

by Joseph Farley
Source:
Wolf Poems (2000)

There is treasure to be found
in these mountains
  (or so it is told):
veins of copper, silver and gold.

But the mountain is still
a mountain
and  must be carved or blasted
into something more manageable.

Hear the ringing fo pick axes;
the rumble of gun powder.
The mountain cracks like an egg,

and a thousand million birds
with golden wings and silver beaks
fly out, cluttering the sky.
        with gems.
