Green Night on Grey Peak

All the ways that you could live,
All the ways that you might die,
Which set weighs most on your mind?

To know, you use a long stick
So you’re not too close to you
And to where you think you are.

From the far end of the stick,
Hard to grip in weak hands, now
Ask—which set pulls the most weight,

Which set tugs the stick tip down?
Try this at night, on a peak.
Way up there, what do you think?

It’s not for me to know, nor
For you to know what I thought.
What each finds out, none finds out.
