Two Thousand and Fourteen
the world gave me one last gift that year
before I really learned what darkness was
I saw the mountains. I saw them through
my friends, looked at their peaks, traced
the outline of their ascent. To be lifted
still, blush at the thought of what lay
before each summit. I would take with
her sweet breaths feathered in blind joy
made small among the past held close
to our chests, comforting those only
time had bestowed mercy
