Brainstorm on Black Velvet Page 2
a two thousand foot climb
in a couple of panting hours.
OK, there won’t be a word
on the news or in the press
but now my name sits up
on that peak with all the rest –
one more dry leaf
in a weathered can –
a lot lower than Tensing’s,
but about where it should be,
I guess, on the scale
of human striving.
