A Walk in the Woods

Land and spruce reach higher at noon
above the air! free as air!
Underfoot the steady streams go on
Low through light and dark and moss.

Will have to cross the bog on planks
and leap [[strikethrough]]and jump[[/strikethrough]] from-mound to mounds [[strikethrough]]of[[/strikethrough]]grass
Our leaps are cumulus to snails 
Thunder to the katydid.

And the crows go round and over,
And gold-thread gleams along the trail.
We should not stop too long for anything
for the sky might softly fall on us!
