mood rings
 
you think 
your work
far heavier 
than my own
 
you push 
you shove
you twist 
you turn
 
you earn 
your keep
while i sit here
body like lead ...
 
... unable to lift a finger.

Wonderful work, Anne. Nice form and line lengths. I have known those that feel their work more valid than the "work" you speak of here. Words are work. They are heavy, sorrowful, longing, beautiful, and a million other things all at once. It is not an easy task to place them in an understandable, outwardly accessible form. It is work.

So sad they did not understand. Good read.

Be well,
Michael

I love the downplaying of "self" in this poem...lower case "i" and the lack of caps; it enhances the content tenfold. Excellent work!

Almost a numbness, right Anne? A mood ring and I guess it does reflect your mood. Deb
