outline

these mountains
rising behind the haze?
the outline of a mystery
a fall of light--nothing more
me--I am also insubstantial
I am walking,
       and someday I will fall
from my own heights
I will slide, slowly
            into drifts along the sidewalk
       when I have slowed
when I am still
                            all I have limned
           will be lost
 whole.
