Out in it
Go out and meet the weather.
Nobody here asks about the forecast. You dress for all of it, and you walk.
Some of what you find along the way can be kept for your plan.

The mountain is further on
At the edge of the steppe
It is in there somewhere.
Cloud down to the grass, and the wind going through it. You could turn back. Or you could wait.

Press and hold. Let go, and the cloud comes back.
The way back
You were not the only one out.
Guanaco on the ridge, watching you pass. A condor, if the air is rising. And somewhere on these slopes, perhaps, a puma.

The lodge
Then there is a door.
You have had the wind in your ears since morning. You stop noticing it, until it stops.
