The Crushing Weight

The Crushing Weight

A Poem by " I Love These Flowing Robes " - Carlton

I am exhausted,

stifled.

The long days of night,

glaring downward,

phosphorescent, the moon.

I heard that calling wind,

the long slow mooring,

and I felt that pressure

on my chest,

that sweet crushing weight.

The winter songs

of empty, expansive sky.
