descent


On the way down,
the mountain grows taller behind me.
Perspective is a trickster like that.

I feel lighter, though
nothing in my pack has changed.
Only the weight of my thoughts has shifted.

At the trailhead,
I turn once more to
the looming shape above me.

The mountain says nothing.
And somehow,
that is enough.
