The weight of the world
By Charlene James-Duguid
The weight of the world
Shoulders you, so you think. No.
Blame constant rain, Fool.
We are all lonely.
Mating snow goose style can help.
Till God cuts the cord.
Keep Grandpa alive
Full-time job for Grandma.
But where is her life?
This is a lovely poem. I appreciate how much is packed into the spare language. Thank you.
Amen to everything. Good job.
