Difficult
to rise earlier than nautical dawn on a summer morning;
almost cool. certainly damp. A streetlight dims, leaving behind
a
slowly fading aura.
Black integument
of a burnt tree, stands as a Giacometti
person, long legs walking under a sultry sky, each
blade
of grass growing tall on ashes.
One foot slips, one world
flows to another. What
was
closed is
now open. Should
I continue
on? Or
have
I
"pushed
to the limit"?
