Three packs for the journey

Tip of the swamp on a good day
Path up hill with three packs
each one full
detours for every highway

And that question hangs over us
Is life a highway or a stairwell
and to the stairwell we go
surveying the spaces between floors

As we climb or fall each step a word in a call
from a family member warning us
To a shop attendant reminding us to pay
Paintings on the wall temporary appeal

Tip of the swamp to the high table desert
some oasis in store for me
