A Stone's Throw

For all
the cut glass checks and wiping
of stains the unruly remains
to hand

left

over

to sit snug
there
on the palm

Who's here just
to guess the weight
of history hid

  1. The weight of the mass of deception required to sanitize history bears down hard upon those who would go to any lengths to deny / avoid it.

    And it's their collusion in its ongoing incremental accumulation that makes the weight so difficult to bear up under, for the rest of us.

  2. And the lower down the scale we are, the more it hurts.

    To have no other recourse but to the truth: the heaviest burden of all.
