A Rebours

I'll tread the trail over the hill then
Though thinking of my children
My stride aligned with now
Nothing more
I stand against nature
I stand a rebours

Apex bound I predate and prey
Beyond the end
Where I am is where I'll stay
Oh mother
Father
'Though wind blows closed your doors
Rest easy
Time can't touch the son who stands
A rebours

For the wound I am cautery
I'm the cure for the disease
After forty days and forty nights
I am the ark that sails the seas
The story's in the telling
The truth is the belief

Up and on I'll push all preciousness aside
But at the peak I will tarry and not stride
Precipitous
Precarious
The path I stand before

I am
I want
I question it no more

I can do no other
I stand
A rebours
