Weight

Weight

I push it up the slope.

I roll this boulder.

Days, months, years,

Generational collaboration.


When I get tired,

And it won't go any further,

I hold it in place.

Never fully resting.


Was the weight meant to be this heavy?

And how far am I meant to take it?

Wanting to let go,

But never letting it.


Others concede, calling it a day.

They let the stone roll,

It rolls.

Down, down and down again.


With their day ending there,

A family ceasing.

But I won't let that happen,

I tell myself that, I think.
