When I climbed to the top of mt guilderness. I looked out over the wrinkles of trees. Pines. Pining for the longing for the otherside. Seemed so far away but so off. So near but so off. And I pressed up against the glass so hard I thought I might break it with all my might. My forehead stung and my ears rang out. I knew unwound – never get there. And the crisp air stung the sky. Pierced the air with a cry. And I dozed out after space.
