Drawn To The Mountain Poem by Thomas Leathandrum

drawn to the mountain
like a teenager to a ipod
to a txt
to a tweet
to a facebook profile
peer pressure to conquer familiarity
fears
and secrets
our mountains demand conquering
like a daughter to her mother for her pregnancy
like a son to his father for his sexuality
with every download and character typed
message placed
and timeline photo shared
our tormentors are demons
are released from our mountains
as companions together
mothers are more than friends
fathers more than bankers
