between

morning sun lights the mesa rim
daring me to fall upward again
with all rising things

while down the valley
a twilight pillow of snowfall
approaches

plunging cliffs and cottonwoods
into watercolor softness
suspended

a wire fence can no longer distinguish
between here and there
and the border falls

causing mice to sink deeper
into each other
home

I watch in a glass room and think
about paradox, my place here
between.
