If every single ladder hides
A ramp
It shelters the horizon
A bridge
To the orient
A look in someone's eyes
Far away
Around a given subject
A lens
After every light
A setting sun
In every place
A look in someone's eyes
Close
And the mountain insists on being there
Standing still
And the mountain insists on being there
Thitherward1
Standing still
Standing still
Facing the infinite
A mosquito
Around a giant
Outline
Every single echo bears within them
A voice
Ahead
Decanting in every corner
A moment
Inside the following
Second
Which, for just a moment
Will be
Before
And the mountain insists on being there
Standing still
And the mountain insists on being there
Thitherward1
Standing still
Standing still
