layer upon layer



of rock, wood, and us

layers--

the siltstone rocks on and around the trail
look like phyllo dough,
cut and broken logs reveal
where each year added its memories,

how much are we like that, 
a composite that is still one?

and what can we learn if we study
the layer upon layer within us?
