UP HERE, IN THE HILLS

up here, in the hills

the line
the border line
was shown to me
which waits for me
to take a step
and turn at last
into a man

but it won't happen here
that step --

first I need to climb higher
into the mountains

far, far from here

the whole thing about the human experience
is just this:
you be a man or a woman
among other men and women

so I need to go up
before I can come down

down from the hills
down from the mountains

and speak.

(and I'll need words, more many words
on the way)
