you hope you’re getting somewhere
like coal miners caught
deep underground or weekend
sailors battling a hurricane
who may not return
and finally when you have to
give it up and come right to the end
of thinking like a long hallway
at the end you find a picture
that becomes a mirror
on closer inspection
and you see how all the thoughts
were coming out of this picture
all along out of what it was
itself a stand-in for something
more substantial and complete
than even thinking could defeat
