a speck of dust
a grain of sand
one after one
two piled on two
day follows day
and builds into months
years of accretion
crush fossil to dust
a faux pas not mentioned
a truth tinted pink
a falseness foisted by
yesterlie
one after one
two piled on two
day follows day
and builds into months
years of accretion
crush life from life
a fossil forgotten
a crystallized heart
a dormant dread deadly
sarcophagus
spade after spade
two piled on two
pound upon pound
weights crushing constricting
force Teutonic shift
The burden surpasses both cipher
and scope, yet a marble-weight
added induces relief.
Mass matter lies shattered,
the heart wriggles out,
the weight of the ages through truth
flutters free.
