Temptation

We walk our road: Rosetti's 'Uphill all the Way'
Or Frost's 'The Road Not Taken'.
Directionless.
No end point glows.
Yet, the sky chisels out our silhouettes,
Keeps us upright, unforsaken.

At our feet, Temptation lies like Mica sparkling -
Layered with consequence.
Kneel to touch?

You'll get dust on your fingers...
