The Burdensome Place
the burdensome place
how a stone survives
beneath rock --
heavy obstacles don't crush,
but pin me down,
locked in
beneath the true surface.
even though I'm above ground,
I feel nothing in the black piling --
my words encased,
so small,
with the little visitors I could love
who crawl and rest atop
my hardened surface.
their entrails atop my soul
mark my essence --
within a dead place, and beauty,
until someone
lifts the cumbersome weight
to find me and toss me
to the ocean of dreams,
a place I have been.
if one would take time to note,
I've been there before --
don't toss me.
hold me. feel
my smooth surface. soothe
your own soul with me.

about not acknowledging experience as true beauty and burdening us to lay in the mud until some unforseen cirmcumstance can free us once more...obvious that the piling is designed to keep us in our place.
