Isolated
In the evening I looked around
no one I could see with me
yet we climbed altitude together
a team of ten without team spirit
the strong cold wind enter my eyes
vampires and anacondas
move near. I hear their footsteps
I try to shout loud, loud
but my echoes answer me rudely
I place my hands on the chin
Is this mountain climbing a fuss?
Am I sacrificed for the wild?
my temple developed rings
but this was not the answer
a spark of light combed my eyes
this too was not reply
Complete serenity left me
and ghosts of intrigue whispered
“Honest trekked across the rivers
each one has reared a wolf as pet
in the parlor of life.”
