A hill

A hill
thistled and dark
with rock and shadow
stands between us and voices
sung high, breaking over the top
like clouds upon mountains -
all we hear is condensation,
wafts of white music
moist as our sweat
but not doomed to fall.
And We, for songs
only faintly known, climb
and our once barren voices bear
hope as We hum along.
