Mountain
January 25, 2010
His back triumphs all,
A mountain looking down at the miniscule valley beneath.
It dips and curves—the small of his back—
Rising and falling with each individual breath.
Two small valley-dips in the skin;
As one scales the mountain becomes rocky,
Fumbling upon jutting shoulder-blades
That suggest strength with age.
Speckles adorn these ridges, scattered—
The muscles shift,
And I touch its smooth surface
Caressing its crevices,
As the sun illuminates its entirety with each golden strand.
