I finally fixed up the old Chevrolet,
took a slow ride out in the heat of the day,
watched the blue jays soar away.
I polished the arthropod fossil on the mantle when I got home -
eyes, claws, and teeth; ancient stone -
and in the living room, I poised to defend.
My knuckles will glow white hot until the very bitter end,
and I will crack,
and I will break
as the tides roll in inside myself.
Unbearable weight.
In the morning, I wake
with cuts, bruises and scrapes,
unsure of where they came from.
I should hope the stars will guide me
as I watch the setting sun.
I will crack.
I will break.
The load I chose to bear
wields unbearable weight.
