89-illumination

so, what did i see? there between the branches, under
rocks wedged together, vines all
tangled hither and thither, bugs
itching at my legs, wind rustling my hair out of its
tight confines. so what did i see? with the sun above
my head glistening down, clouds
sparse but pleasant, present. i
saw all those things but none at all. they were there
in my view. so what did i see? i could see only one
other, only needed to see one,
climbing through with reckless
abandon of a child's heart, and
felt only that this was right, despite the stinging of
the sunburn and the nettles and the branches. that is
what i saw.
