Mountains In the Mind
there are mountains
in my mind
those i can’t climb
no matter how i try
smooth glass-like walls
with no finger holds
thousands times
a thousand
i circle the wide base
there are no crannies
not a hint
of small cracks
nothing i can see
i dream of wings
something with which
to ascend
unassailable heights
but my thoughts
are mired
in solid concrete
there are mountains
in my mind
and i will never
reach their peaks
each one remains
a stranger, one
i can never meet
