I wanted to build a tent on the top of
the mountain. I wanted to stay there,
why would we leave? I wanted your
clothes to be white like they were
forever in that high place where
the air stood still.
I wanted to see you and, more, to be
seen. watch me ascend, find the top of
the mountain. I am bright, I’m above,
I’m amazed and aloft. don’t make me go
down there, don’t make me pretend that
this never happened when my skin’s shining too.
