That Thing You’ve Carried for So Many Years
Once, you could have planted it
in the rich kindness of loam
in earth which would have let it breathe
and then you could have gone away
lived some life
visited the garden just from time to time
and one day found green shoots
clean new shoots which would have cheered you
however frail they were.
But to bend down to the ground
was far too hard.
