i’m almost ahead of you

12/6/05
originally composed on 11/28/05

from this white empty form of a snow-shrouded peak
I’m left cold and windswept again
merely peering rather meekly through the
whipping winter fog
at the children down below,
thick layer of simple meat
coating everything
below me
beneath the sun
and as I gaze deified from my perch
I know I’m still one of them
as broken and sanctified as I feel
on this frozen peculiar nocturne
