Mental Mass
Illuminated by the
infinite sublimity
Of the seemingly
half-real form
of this man’s body
weighing her down,
She sinks beneath
His solid shadow,
lighter than feathers.
Without having been
pardoned in advance
for the Ephemeral Nature of
Their Infinitum,
His heaviness continues
to pin Her
to the ground,
nailing Her to
Their Transitory Eternity.
Meanwhile,
she soars further
into The Myth of
Their Nonexistence.
With an aura of nostalgia,
she settles further into
“The Sunset of [Her] Dissolution,”
Irrevocably altered by
the burden of
His heaviness on
Her Life’s Destiny.
She longs to discern
if the recurrence of
His Absence and the
ensuing torment
Are an unbearable
responsibility self-inflicted,
Or a childishly simple,
beautiful freedom
Permitted Her by
The Beauty of His Absence.
