Furnace Mountain

there is a furnace on the mountain
where the heated lovers meet
you and i have never been there
never felt tall when we saw the wall
of the mighty Eiger
never felt tall when we saw the fall
of the mighty Niagra
we're like players tossing a ball
and using our words instead of arms
for an embrace
i'd rather use my arms
just in case
i forget how to speak
and you've looked away,
what could i say?
