Climb.
Against the
winds that claim
this bitter peak, that scrape
and slurry and mince no words but
enforce dominion and push and pull and
drag you down until you can climb no more. Climb.

Thanks, VJ! I love concrete poetry, and bring it out only every once in a while as it’s a form that can get tired if overused. 🙂
