Climbed a Jagged Mountain

Razor top peak cutting the sun, A full day sliced in two before my eyes. Then a breeze burns this face without fire. My legs cramping and giving out, yet I can't feel it. These delicate little orbs of vision, Protected within goggles frozen to my bitten skin. An evil wind sings a death call in ear; While I cling to a giant that doesn't know I exist. Still, you'd swear it was alive, Whispering threats at speeds that surely can kill. Just one little sneeze, Could blow this human bug from its wall. I thought about giving it a hug, But this unmovable monster is too damn big. Could easily die falling into its belly button; Finally past its private parts, so I'll just keep climbing.
