Passing

Brian Looney

    See how the landscape forms, how it growls with glee.
    It shivers at my touch, the first of many.

    Passing closely, progress daunted, wary and unwanted. Not a trail, not a path, not a human here.

    Passing safely, elevation gained, and the peak is a deceptive lure: always close, always far, never at my feet.

    Passing and grazing, the goal is in my dream.

    Keep on moving, rolling gravel, the same unbending track, at slower and slower speeds. I cannot keep it steady.

    Stop and glance behind.

    Behind, the painted landscape. Behind, freezer-burned. Behind, the stuff of sweat. Behind, pain-diminished. Behind, the thrill of conquest.

    Behind, a purpose passed.
