| LEVIATHAN SCALED |
|
I wave the boy on and alone again glance up, acknowledge there is light yet! Battling my demons and the heat, creeping ever-upward, going only forwards, never daring to image the downward return, I am calmer, starting to think about how to find the others up where eagles alone once landed. On the summit flat we wander dazed, surreal, words pointless, abandoned; our mouths silenced in the solitude. The sun now in irony takes forever to set, and we snatch back time. This life is mine but the Leviathan has demanded I stand on the very edge to understand that.
