The Summit
Climbing the mountain,
you walk on its rim
scratching the surface
never let in
Once at the summit
new footing takes hold
rock you can stand on
—legend foretold
Climbing the mountain,
never look down
focus above you
reach for the crown
Others who failed
and others to come
will follow the tracks
—that lead zero sum
(The New Room: March, 2022)
