Body Heavy
Beyond this body
This heaviness that encloses
There I exist
Brain wrapped in skin
Thoughts trapped in brain
Words put to paper
Beyond these thoughts
A weariness that pervades
There I live
Actions wrapped in body
Movement trapped in mind
In the end all for naught
When this body heaviness
Is done with the world
And these thoughts and wearinesses consume
It will be time
To lay it down
Existing as if I had never been and
Never existing
As if I had lived for millions of years
And only you
My love
To mark my passage here
