Climbing up the garden wall,
the questions loom
—the answers small
Climbing up the garden wall,
the past retreats
—the future falls
Climbing up the garden wall,
a distant voice
—your name beyond
Climbing up the garden wall,
a minstrel plays
—forgotten songs
Climbing up the garden wall,
Lot's wife is dead
—not looking back
Climbing up the garden wall,
the top in sight
—the beanstalk jacked
Climbing up the garden wall,
I reach across
—all fear behind
Climbing up the garden wall,
horizons new
—the choices mine
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January,2017)
