We Are The Summit

I will carve the air

we breathe

with blood and words,

and we will

reinvent legacy

as two orphans,

using amnesia

to cement our second chances,

and we will leave a trail

that looks like stone

and feels like starting over,

that smells like sun-dried air

passing over lovers,

and our children will stand

on mountains that curve

like our spines,

and we will live for the weight

of tiny feet that walk

upon everything we dreamed of.

and our hearts will become lakes

at the summit,

where generations feel

the pulse as they swim.

and I will follow your essence

into the clouds, and together,

we will wash them as rain

until there is no sky.

until there are no feet

left to climb.
