it takes more faith and fortitude than I've got

to keep my eye on the prize of heaven


when I look up and climb out of one pit

I find myself at the bottom of another one


with heaven no nearer

shining away at the top


of a long corridor of pits stacked like a Jacob's Ladder

of of awe and weariness and vertigo
