hush

I am too scared to think; for
thinking involves ownership.

I think;
therefore, I feel.

I am too scared to think; for
thinking touches upon meaning;
ownership of past as reality – or,
this prison. There are no deals.

I am too scared to think; for
boat hath floated, that gopher
wood, and sea hath split unto shore.

and now the mountain.

I am too scared to think
of the wandering
the waiting
the wilderness
affording rise

I think
I’ll feel
no more
