Today is a struggle
Pack heavy
Back sore
Hurt leg tight
And uncomfortable
Gut rumbling
Walking hard work

In need of a rest
After two and a half months
This is
Another six days
Of intense walking
Amongst ever-changing
Mindblowing
Natural beauty
Narrow ledges
Long and steep descents
On sheer mountain sides

I have reached
My limit
Of tolerance for
Scary experiences
Or even their
Possibility

Longing for a normal bed
For not moving on
For no conversation
For no opinions
For a day of just being
Alone
