Looking back at tracks in the clouds,
you spring the gate closed—
trapped forever.

    The first words out of my mouth when I saw this photo? “Oh my god! – Spring!” What a place to be trapped forever. What are the yellow flowers?

    Beautiful. Spring in January? East coasters could never figure this out. No wonder I’m having problems.

    A very lovely photo indeed. My inner geek is wondering about the geology of the hill. It makes a very interesting photo inspiration for your poem.

      It’s the beginning on a long ridge at about 2,000′ that falls for about a mile into Dry Creek at 600′ — clay over shale and decomposing granite.
