The slipped knot of now into will be is such a gentle strand, the braid undoes itself from yesterday as easily as a garment's clasp, as easily as abseiling liana. Can I hold soft the line? To not look back but keep the mountain's imprint emboldened in the eye To unknow the difference from ascent and descent. O day, o cloud: what do you know that hasn't been pressed through my palms?
