39 : 5/19/98 : Tired

Guess it must always
get back to this,
deep tired, deep down tired
All that ancient lead
in my bones

The ether's thick like
honey, omnipresent,
such a weight pushing
us all in toward
inevitable oblivion

And once I slept as
a child, peaceful and
deep, and expanded
and diffused the weight,
the weight

Breathe deep I wrap my
strength around
my leaden bones
Another day
another load
