Pen y Fan
on a track
no wider than a sheep
I am defacing
not decorating the scenery
and I should have turned back
before
my ambition unroped itself from my abilities
above
upon thermals (above the soaring peaks)
kites
are showing how feathers are the way to get around
I sucker myself
to the whorls of the mountain
turn
and take in the terrifying compass
