It Doesn’t Make Me Smile

“No more so
than the burden I carry
around with me always”—and what

Nasty
and chipped joints, out of reach.
Heavy and heavy and heavy.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
