As Above, So Below

Once you get to the very

bottom,
the view is foreign.

Stay a while.
Let it shock you.
Rock you.

Look around, 
awestruck at your
indecent nature.

It has its own new
rivers, peaks,
valleys.

Here’s where
we lost so many,

too many,

who learned
they belonged 
after they were gone.
