The rain came hard
The mountains came down
The mountains came down
In torrents
Of mud
And rock
And trees
Wiping away bridges
Wiping away people
The road broke down
So access broke down
For weeks and weeks
Only the long
Long long
Long way around
So we built stronger bridges
And a place to load ferries
Now the rain comes hard
And the mountains come down
But the bridges stand strong
So no ferries need come
But we do
With our cameras
And our phones
Our road-weary bodies
We come to take in
The mountains
And the clouds
The calm rippling sea
Though, when the rain comes hard
We do not come, at all
Not in the heavy rain
Not unless the bridges fall
For emergency use only
Or when there is
A perfect moment
