Climbing Again



Climbing our hill today wasn’t the sinecure it used 
to be - but then we’ve moved a long way from th’ 
level o’ well-being existent when we did it daily; in 
the event, no inference suggested we shouldn’t - 
so accepting muscular pain would be short-lived, 
and bravely persisting paid dividends in the end - 
we’re now aware whose gain is negotiating these 
rumbustious terms for our return’s imminence - 

And if seeing it that way paves a tempestuous yet 
gilded pathway - so be it - the view from the top’s 
what rests the case; dwelling in the Glenn doesn’t 
raise hopes of an unfailing recovery: then again, a 
sinecure’s nemesis suggests we’re well on a track 
we’d left in an austerity of th’ mind’s ambivalence
