yellow and death

no yellow like yellow never 
corned upon

these shoulder hills patient 
to unfold meander 
to the car like cows and 
lick us, 
be wet, look: 
rockabye palest and 
gentlest yellow 

hills know we will never 
stop to love them again 
and indeed we are hardly stopping now. 

shoulder hills euthanized
with asphalt-blanket, 
so we take it, split to sea, 
pretending hills that open so easy
as rest reminisced as dream
where we still have power.
