Not nice, Gneiss



NOT NICE, GNEISS


No
Gentle
Little-picture.

Nor
Any soft
Option-land

Even easy
Country is
Hot Desert Sand

And the Mountains
Rise up in your face
With Ridge-knives

Adamants of standover bedrock
That are not nice;
But gneiss.

Gneiss: a stone
As hard as steel,
But not as bending.
