when to stop
scrambling over boulders
taller than my father
scraping knees
and ripping the soles of my feet to shreds
I started to wonder when I’d
stop
adventuring
when I’d give into the voice that has started to whisper
stop
before the broken nails and buggered shins
before the exploration
and before the discovery of the unknown
One thought on "when to stop"
