Uphill

beginning the day in benign
flavor, flicking out
another butt, moored & more
deflated by the day, emaciated,
conflagrated by my willfull
conjurations, stuck in a vibe,
pipe-dreaming, killing off
injuries, jailing my proverbial
felon in a felt-woven cell,
life a suck and a sell, none
adding without subtracting,
no steps taken without
vertigo, nowhere to go
but in your unerring direction,
you cute compass, you adorable
deplorable-magnet, i'm never
so over the moon as when
i'm next to you, sun-driving,
billowing into arms
that unfold for endless months,
charging into the light
like fucking stupid moths
