my heart shrank to the size of a bug.
they gave me drugs.
i lugged the spirit of my father
across a mountain.
he was so heavy. every
body hated him.
my heart exploded with delight
at the sight of you.
you carried me for years
up the steps of a ziggurat.
i was too heavy for you;
the cruelty inside me.
your heart burst, leaving me
alone at this summit.
waiting for a sacrificial blade.
