he had spent a week
climbing
hiking
climbing back down
he had found caves
at least depressions
to sleep in out of the wind
out of the voices insisting
reminding him of work
family
friends
conversations he needed to finish
one place he’d found so still
a new voice had reached through
it spoke of stillness
quiet
it hinted at the way
he waited
listening
until reminders began again
work family friends conversations
and began to fret
about getting back in time
only at the foot of the mountain did he think
had he almost made it?
almost found that quiet
he claimed he searched for?
