We walk uphill
almost parallel
with the sky
but like all our other
adventures
we are out
to conquer different things
mine is to take this hill
one paced but ragged
breath upon breath
foot over foot
to plant my flag
yours is to shutter
to and fro
distilling object
place and time
and what is now
into an orderly
chronicle of us
