Art, Work or Family
written by: Ferris E Jones
The heaviness can’t be approached.
Slowly, its multitudes of victims
Bury themselves in the hours wasted
And no remorse for their imagination
Can be applied; to free them.
With shattered, woven thoughts
It must be attached by stealth,
Dazzled with a sensible creature
unseen by any residue,
Put to rest in a brilliant silence.
