Desolation Angel
by Jack Kerouac

A bubble, a shadow -
woop -
The lightning flash

Thunder in the mountains -
the iron
Of my mother's love

Mist boiling from the
ridge - the mountains
Are clean

Mist before the peak
- the dream
Goes on

as cold
  water in a dell
    on a dusty tired trail -

Girls' footprints
in the sand
- Old mossy pile
