to traverse an eternity.

to follow a geological feature

to trace a map with my own blood and sweat

to struggle up miles and stumble

even leave a chunk of flesh on a sharp rock



and to realize--

that the world is mine, and i am filled with its swelling infinity

and this light inside me

shall not be extinguished.


how i give thanks, to you, reality,

to you-

this brain feature, this god figure, this phenomenon of time and space


i give thanks to you, me, you

that i am alive in this very moment and all moments passed and future
