Thank you Judy - I need to really go back to this and look at it, but have fallen to the 'flu of Ballarat and cannot think beyond the pain in my temples at present...

The Mountaineer
Draw in - see
this thin cord of colour trace its path up the mountain.
Blue red orange green and grey in determined plastic.
I am on the left, lying in the snow. You can see me too - my body freezing
to the earth, face blackening.
Forty have past me on their day in the wilderness, mostly men, all
exhortation.
Onwards, upwards, a crampon there, or there a pick - upwards, upwards.
None can stop, for who can be close
against the open sky?
Draw away. See? I have become
that smear of a signature
in the corner of an overwinter canvas.
