a rumination on completing a phd


man's best friend? or academic advisor?

out there, across the water
his fixed gaze penetrates the thick fog,
boring into me.

that feeling, both observed and expected
pushes me
to either succeed...
or to resign...

persisting, i find the oars.
silencing my fatigue, i paddle,
gliding forward bit by bit.

the fog lifts as i go
revealing my waiting companion
ready to join me down my path.
