stroking
toward the bottom of the quarry,
thinking –
Can't be too much deeper,
any colder, all that darker.
Proving
there was always
lower still to go.
We reached the nadir.
Bracing
our feet against the bedrock
we shoved –
Desperately determined,
kicking, shooting
struggling skyward
toward the light we know.
