The Woman on the Mountaintop: A Response to Bill's Challenge
she held the sun aloft,
the wind answering
thoughts without
the usual questions
posed
in the shadows.
she held my heart aloft,
without the usual
words
positioning themselves
into platitudes.
and i,
i loved her,
as she kissed the sun
and held held the night
at bay.
