ridging

1/20/2019

Hiding in the darkness

Beneath this vast filtered landscape

Behind the plaster and adhesive

Beyond tense fragile reflections

Bent by rippled distortions

These proportions are neither truth nor

Sincere performance

This charade may give way

To reveal what is lurking

That dark wild in between

And within all at once

Impressions formed upon

This volatile treasure

Plush walls to embrace

Its ever thinning shell

If this sundry cargo could hatch

What stories would it tell?

Or would it recede and and fester further

Into sabotage and mis-entropic

Holo-genic fragments caught in momentary breach

Fermented shame and melted seals

Dripping hot clues and breadcrumbs

Follow this trail beyond the bliss

The innocent gift of unbridled risk

To jump

and pour

and fall

and splash

and climb

and slip

Above this saddle

Beyond frozen fingers

There are snowy peaks that taught me how to feel.
