In memory of Albert Camus

Are we condemned to futility
as we experience "utility?"...
The answer is in formations above the ground
from what we see and how it sounds
as far as the horizon stretches
as long as thirst quenches
mountains form from upheavals of crust
mole hills can become mountains, if you must.

The hill

how mounds grow
where pitchers size their quarry
some hold colonies
and the hill breaths their presence
other mounds sprout over-night
a gardener's nightmare...

The mountain

myths of Sisyphus live here
rocks are rolled up,
avalanches slide
turbaned hideouts are maintained
rainy weather is contained.

Are we

condemned to futility
or answers of utility?

Very thought provoking write Martin.
Made me stop and thing...
I like that in a piece.
Good write!
