mown hay

each hilltop waved with flowered grasses

while sun coaxed music from bird and wind

nomad herdsmen, dogs, furred horses,

sheep, and goats, and sometimes cows

children play, long summer shadows,

berries hiding, lush on stems,

bees and butterflies, finding golden

pollen, for honey, and silk-thread cocoons

yurts move, felt walls easily folded,

easily patched if winds come peering through,

wooden framework guarding night dreams,

rugs for floor, clouds and clear skies above

lower down, farmers mow grass

food for herds’ long cold winter months

barns and houses have sturdy walls

but I would not trade them

for the stars and sun of summer hills
