With Nomioss his Brother

…Ahgreyeuss walks
from the woods
further back into youth

with Nomioss
They tread long grass
and water all around
streams
clear and overflowing with green
and the sky

By the novitiate
with its stop-gates
                            diversions
                           races
they walk rising land

They come to culverts
where Nomioss turns back
but Ahgreyeuss
                           the younger boy            continues

climbing the awe of washout
                        vertical
over the ruinous concrete      
                                     to the gentle slopes
                                      near the top of the ridge 
                                   where the water

                                                             flows uphill
