MOUNTAINS

Oh, to be a hiker! 
To have a hairline slicked back with sweat,
feel the gravel under my feet,
heels steps away from falling right off.
Oh, the breeze on my face!
Stinging, rough against my skin,
a feat of human strength.
I'd be a testament, time!
A superman pose at the top of the world.
But, alas,
I cry every time I reach my peak.
