force

 
push
this stone
won’t roll without me
crushingly heavy in its solidity
covered with time-thickened moss
bearding its craggy surface
far too long neglected
it’s time to let it go
move it along
and be
done

pull
struggling lungs
once clogged with stagnation
each breath drawn with less desperation
resting a beat for new strength to rise
shielding my light-sensitive eyes
climb from this self-dug grave
leave it now & walk away
……apathy ……
……must……
…now…

stop
