The Heavy
A Poem
this is the heavy this is the night when dread falls completely through like heat ghosts to my core will I sleep with this hold on me will tomorrow bring relief to this heavy when the dying man wants no help when the sick father wants to be left alone when no answers will clarify confusion is simply exhaustion this is the heavy the announcement that’s been raining on and off through my days this is the almost the window the heaviest burden to care for the foreclosed for the depressed for the absence in our lives what happens next will be the drop the wait and see the murky swollen heavy
