The Weight Poem by James Mills

The Weight

Rating: 4.9


Why does the thin, grey strand
of tendril memory
floating unbroken, undetached,
why does it trouble me?

Ah, do you understand,
that what I must carry
is the motherlode of my malady,
the dust and ash of used to be,

that smoulders, and is fanned
by these old, grey cares?
When all that I pray
is sometimes that it let me be.
