Day Hike

terrain unknown

and powerful steep,

I journey. . .

forgotten language
 
 
of maps

torn in two

and crumpled into crannies

–a new kind of nonsense

too

hooded I–

shiver under sweat

find pocks

mid-step

by touch,

gaze fixed to

sparkling mirage

above

–neither God, nor Son, but mine–

reflecting from shattered

spectacles.
