Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Everest

EVEREST

pinnacle of insanity
only halfway home
so cold
nerves numb
not a vacation spot
near heaven, but not!

deadmen tucked
into beds of ice and crevices
brain swell while they sleepwalk

zombies rise ever higher
certain to hear trumpets of angels
even the guides are thrown down

steeples are strenuous climbs
