Teetering

I’ll get to the root of this
Bear all my longings for laughter
Pick fruit after fruit
None yet ripe
Step on one-million tiny
things, oblivious
Crawl to the truth
Cry wolf
Struggle to hold
my head up
Climb a big hill
Walk the plank
a thousand times
But I’ll never step
over the edge,
I’ll get
to the
root
of
this.

  1. Nature has been inspiring to me lately. I don’t know what I’d do without nature and mystery, don’t know what I’d write about if I knew the answers to anything at all.
