The Trail
by Donald Lev
The trail was arduous, but usually rising
which we thought was generally good.
often falling into funny ruts and crevices
and very unpleasant wet or gaseous spots;
but we dutifully, sometimes joyfully, followed it
hand in hand as it mostly rose and now we see
that it ends shortly ahead of us at a bleak promontory
which we will probably be approaching at night too
weary and terrified and committed not to stumble past.
