Carry that weight a long time.

Full as the Forest

Veins 

curve opaquely

raindrops fall

fall down

down 

tiptoeing brokenly

upon carved dark passageways.

My heart is as

full as the forest and as 

smooth as the sea.

But the 

azure vessels

coursing by

this scarlet muscle

never fully penetrate

the swirling oblivion

of the mind. 

And my soul 

my very spirit is as

full as the forest and as

smooth as the sea. 

As smooth as the 

rushing, chopping

churning daybreak moonlight

sea!

I rage

whoosh

glimmer

roll and slow to 

a trickle

trickle down

down

warming small

troubled rounded

pearl toes.

Title Quote: The Beatles, Carry That Weight
