heavy

it's darker than it was yesterday
the sunrise dull
small rays, fighting to break the grey
and failing.
no rain falls
just oppression of
the soul of sky
heavy

gravity is more pressing today
the line between the
ground and sky
is shrinking
clouds closer
blocking light
from the earth
heavy

my eyelids, more iron than skin
sinking over
my eyes
to blink is to work
pulling shades down
losing light
all i feel
heavy
