Dirty Sneakers

As if the horizon

Was kicked from her sleep;

Opened her eyes and

Bared all her teeth.

As the sun slowly rises,

I stand underneath.

Look to the skies and

Wonder at peaks

That call to define me

Through climbing techniques

Which have shown to incline he

Who seeks the retreat

Within meaning defining

Why the ground feels so steep

And find you’ll be minding

This person you meet

When the mountains subside

Into dust at your feet.
