down a gully.

down the other side of the hill. There is a building in the distance.
The road, which approaches from the east, ends here amid the trees.

in the rock. Downstream the streambed is bare rock.

Of this form, it might be said, something to write
home about - to be sure, this empty entity which
refuses to obey the dance of fingers, this
configuration - try as I might, the resistance is
enormous - you'd have to try it yourself - there's
everything to lose - this paragraph of uneasy
denouements, meandering text, feeling almost of
nausea, the 'queasy' - I'm uncomfortable now,
I'll say no more...
