Sitting with M.C.

“…..let us then try to climb the mountain, not by stepping on what is below us, but to pull us up by what is above us…..” M.C. Escher

M.C. and I sit

between

hemispheres,

Discuss whether we

are descending

or ascending.

Is the floor

a ceiling

or just a floor?

Hands reach out

from chests

pull form from chaos,

Draw each others

likeness

inside our skulls,

Ask if the straight

always veers

into a tree,

Was the engine

or steering wheel

Camus’ executioner?
