When W.H. Auden traveled to Iceland, he stumbled across the word 'foss,' which means 'waterfall.'
However, this word is most commonly used in association with the word 'bicycle' since for some reason, when the natives first encountered the bicycle, they could think of nothing to compare it to sufficiently except for a waterfall.

my heart beats from wind that is a quake, an escape fire
stilled with stories, warring, we are becoming book objects
storytellers too dead to speak a word less a daguerreotype of what isn't there
