Why the title "Sky Rope (subterranean rappel)"?
Because to ascend, we must descend...we must go deep within. This I’ve learned from hard experience.
Author’s bio (my standard spiel):
Michael R. Patton, in his own words, “likes to make stuff”. This stuff includes novels, new fables and myths, poetry, cartoons, essays, and videos.
The ideas that run through that work can be found in the titles of his books. For example: Searching for My Best Beliefs and My War for Peace.
Basically self-taught, he describes his slow, tedious journey of discovery as “crawling blindfolded through the labyrinth”. He has lived and worked all over the United States.

‘Poetry is an experience of limits: it travels around the borderlines of what can be named and what must be left unnamed.’
~Alice Oswald
I am a fan of your smooth, airy style of writing. It is refreshing to read a poem all the way through and as the end approaches the mind doesn’t seem to notice or slow down, leading the moment to crash into consciousness and snap into it smiling!
