The mountains we seek

The crests and peaks

Are no longer to be discovered

 

We reached the summit

but retracted

and settled in the trough

 

Where now?

You say

 

I do not respond, I contemplate my answer

Make it articulate, considerate, yet punctual;

 

Nowhere. We settle.

We deal with what we need to deal with.

Whether that is today,

Wednesday,

Whenever it needs be.

 

Wednesday resonates, it echoes, it howls.

"Okay. We will deal with it on Wednesday."
