Danger on Peaks by Gary Snyder is both a warning and a calling for those of us who frequent mountains. A sample:

Yet Older Matters

A rain of black rocks    out of space
onto deep blue ice   in Antarctica
nice thousand feet high   scattered for miles.

Crunched inside yet older matter from times before our very sun
