Diversions For Pathway, Tracks; Switchback

way up high
watching them dig
cars from snow

not a canal
a safe passage
already mediated

natural channels
not giving back
taking away

in the washed soil
there is truth
bleached and basic

borrowed for a turn
then wasted
for some kind of shift

from any tower
or any deck
life gets easy

for however long
the foundation is stable
unobstructed, washed clean

softly ground pebbles
porous rock
doing its work

all that strength
sucked down in
but willing to change
