POETRY 2024: Mountain Climber by Thane Schwartz

Mountain Climberby Thane SchwartzA subtle stone under the hand, giving way to a wayward fall. And through a cloud unable to reach, a pinnacle not breached🏔 A crevasse no longer holding the hook, as it grapples with the grapnel. And picking the pebbles from under her nook, the mountain manicures it’s granules🏔 The hook no longer with the rope, but dangling in the clouds. And letting go of a wayward hope, a subtle fall onto the ground.Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner. Stream her record Better off Dead here.
