The hills are broken,
Their rocks quarried
A drizzle of rain,
They're verdant again
Who's to know
Their silent pain?
Hammer and axe:
Blow by blow
Torn apart
Strata by strata
The water gushes
Takes new forms
Pools and falls
The soil's gone
Marble and granite
Tiles and tabletops
Where once was
A tall mountain
Now is a grass-plot.
