Riddleface Mountain
is on my bucket list
of places to visit after
I die. The name
tugs at me like a pup
on a cuff. I want to hover
before it, a midair ghost;
stare into the granite,
and let it make me whoop,
delighting in the punchlines.
I’d have that slight twinge
of regret when I guessed right
and then of how I’d beg for another,
another, squealing for more.
At some point I know I’ll need
to float away and see the rest
of the land around those parts.
But before I do, I’ll hang suspended
before the cliffs
of Riddleface Mountain,
laughing one final time
at moments of silly human delight
as if I were a four year old
delighted by small things.
