A Tear By The Way

 A Tear By The Way

 

“Been climbing at Devil’s Tower

some of the 5-8 pitches were hard

Tho, I laughed all the way up.

 

I live in Breck, (Breckenridge, Colorado) during the winter

work as a waitron nights so I

I can board all day. Same

as now cept

I’m a fly clinging to and climbing

cracks all day.

 

Wyoming is big and beautiful,

endless vista’s and horizon’s

stretching into forever

glowing orange sun hanging

half in, half out of the Earth

light blue hue

tiny white wisps of cirrus

clouds rushing by

winds whipping

ripping my hair blonde

from it’s long pony tail

stinging my breasts.

 

There was nothing I could do

dangling on my descent

rappelling requires

complete concentration.

 

Saw you hitch-hiking your

blue and black Dana Design Pack

against your tan smooth skin

you know you have a climber’s body.

It’s too bad I turn here for

Eldorado Canyon tho

this should get you far enough

out of Boulder.

 

It’s a pity

we couldn’t climb with one another.

My name is

Tear by the way.”
