heifer hyphen chasm

very much across the chasm in the small,
"He ponders, nothing is as nothing seems,
"The defile of the signifier forms a chasm or rupture,
attempting to hold forth across chasm and chiasm."

I move among clouds and phenomena, chasms and pools,
Of Death, upon this ghastly cliff and chasm,
the variant of the Other,
The chasm is the variant of the Other,
and each of them
I see written on the body,
wonderfully terrible! Truly a chiasm
across chasm, in rock.
downstream, streambed is bare dirt, strong steel,
thwarted ululations ascending through chasm-void,
among the seas and shores of the untoward
chasms of the body, that tsunami
ascending through the void:they are risen, rising up:
you can see
becoming unbridgeable chasms

and the bottom of the chasm, salt burns my wounds,
soaks the oils from the skin
that lies between us:
void void void my dark energy my void,
void void void my dark energy my void,
the lost 5400, the fossil which precede flowers,
shores, body of shores,
laterals, alethopteroid, womb-chasm, void, the
dark chasm my exoplanet,
clouds and pools, inhabited.

for the threnody of the dead i am not cliff or chasm,
from the womb-chasm, from the void, they are rising:
they are rising,
i dream of the void::
the void::
until my clothes fall into chasms,
my skin floats free in unspeakable
darkness, my energy, my radiation,
and the great void or chasm beneath the surface
and the great void or chasm beneath the surface

opens up the vast comprehension on the edge of falling apart
the shores and the body
the shores of the chasms of the body
reaching, the cliff edge of the dark brook,
thunders, fluids,
vast voids,
on the edge of falling,
doubling and more than one,
mists vanishing, trolls and notices,
wreckage, and more than one,
and epitaphs

The rocks are much more askew, the result apparently of a glacial dam
bursting 14,000 years ago.

It's an interesting place for hiking and climbing and just "hanging out". It's about half way between Alan and I. We used to take the kids down there and let them climb around and get it out of their systems. Rose and I were down there about 4 years ago with the grandkids also. Susy Safety hasn't gotten it closed down and roped off yet LOL

People were doing parcours on it, which is dangerous. I'll take the upper
path and look for fungi, at least to begin. Suprisingly, there were only
lichen (even down into the chasm or around the edges), and they seemed to
be everywhere but limited species.

probably the same here, but I'd like to go the lower route - see what the
odd environment produces in terms of the biome -

The best kind of fun. when I was young & younger, we would go down to the ‘valley' (the glacial divide that was sliced through the Cleveland area, and climb all over the rocks and the indian fortifications left by the Erie tribe.
