I want to go to the mountains
and learn how to be like them:
strong and rooted and steady.
I want to feel my legs stretch into the Earth,
as if I am meant to be here,
and not come tumbling down.
I want to let lupines grow along my arms--
pinks, blues, purples--
and cover what I've done.
I want to go the mountains
but for now I wait in a valley.
