                            The Mountain by Warren Glover

I could see through the window of the airplane

the majesty of the mountain.

In the morning light it looked just like glass

as the snow reflected off the sun.

We passed through cloud,

bathing the mountain in shadow.

I turned to see inside the cabin

the plain gray interior, infinitely inferior

to the marvel of nature outside.

We landed.

Behind the glass of his booth

the official, in his plain drab uniform,

made me fill out an immigration card.

I studied his five o'clock shadow

as he stamped my passport hard.

Under the artificial light I sneaked a peek,

the mountain the symbol of this place.
