A Nimbus

you move like a hefty pin
on a rail,
anchors lodged to every limb,
like a guilt ridden prisoner.
you strike at an impression,
as if flightless,
feathery.
but your disguise
is utter pain,
deceiving.

move on! move on!

abandon your heavy ways.
find a release.
perhaps during a seasonal drought?
i know some would appreciate that.
