Towards the Summit A traveller ascends the stone stairs of the sanctuary as snow falls like a flock of birds through the forest of his bones, stark and swift beaked deep into the frozen fields ripe with the worlds tattered coat. Quiet, inward, closer to the sun a radiant light burns bright into the surrounding plains and bitter exterior, beyond the howling wind, the frozen tundra, the sharp cuts of plummeting voices that echo from the mountain with its ashes of stars- to the summit, where the lights of the village appear as fireflies in a lost brook, and the whispering conversation of planets fall like blossoms in a summer breeze. |
