12,425. GIFFORD AND GARRISON

GIFFORD AND GARRISON
Much like a random sheeting of
rain on a map-glass for places
that did not exist, intentions
covered everything fully; to
leave blurs and runnings on
a simple-viewing pane. One
thousand steps I'd climbed
to be here  :  high above a
distant landscape falling all
around me. Caravan?  Wagon
train? Or just an image of
the world's delight in being?
-
You'd held out your hand as
we were climbing, and I took
it. I was hooked, and probably
by stair five hundred too. Why
go halfway to Paradise, when 
only Heaven will do?
