Somewhere Snow - Paradise, Montana

"...Always somewhere in the air is snow
Of every kind, light, drifted, melting, deep
Especially, its liquid energy
Released come spring stored temporarily
Upon the mountains as through time they keep
Faith with cold nights where the foxes bark and roam.”

--From "Always Somewhere" by David Rothman

Somewhere Mountains - Paradise, Montana

"Somewhere in the dark is always mountains,

Years in mountains, mountains silent, standing

Inscrutable, big, rocky, piercing, sheer,

And hills, wrinkled and rippling, calling clear

Across their time, symbolic, real, and branding

Reality as cities boast a downtown....”

--From "Always Somewhere" by David Rothman
