The Thing is This

I have climbed up
And over
So many mountains
And swum in so many oceans
And I hold my heart with my own two hands
Nobody else holds it for me
I hold it up
I hold myself up
I kiss the sky
The air
The black earth of the Appalachians

There is music in it
Beauty
Slow love songs
Terrible thunder
Wind
But ultimately
Own-ness

Own-ness of me.
