A WEIGHT

Why is it, she must seal her walls
With pain.
To a crying, loneliness
Never knowing, its name!

To fear, the coming & passing of each day.
Takes, the flesh-flourished in fear.
Tell no one, can know her.
And of that, can't see
The blinding
That holds her, here.

In the drowning depths of fear.
The rattling of their chains.
That surrounding
Of man's, circling blame!

Has cast, that upon her.
That!
Of lives, past.
