The Weight at Which I Stand
The weight at which I stand cracks my limbs;
It crushes;
It penetrates;
It reverberates through.
It cannot be seen, it cannot be heard, it cannot be known,
Because the weight at which I stand is a burden of my own hatred.
It is a hatred of myself; a poison to my joy; a deflector of aid.
The delicate foundation of support waivers, but never fails.
Yet, still, the weight at which I stand creates a fountain of emptiness, and knows ceaseless bounds.
