Someone tended the mountain
While men were away. Warring.
Somebody supplied. And
With someone’s basic warmth.

If no one tended the mountain,
When men came home, swearing,
Somebody applied guns
With everyone’s eyes.

Someone tended the mountain,
While women were here. Wombing.
Somebody jeehied, itself, along
With everybody else. Myth..

Sounds stupid, in a mouth,
Spoken out loud, succumbing
To Nothing Else! I guess
Whenever ‘with’ comes around,

Still and all, someone
Tended The mountain..
Whenever ‘with’ and all
Withers when with comes around.

Who tended the Mountain?
