The Lonely Forge
“I’m gonna…i’m gonna lose it…”
— by the Poet
THE LONELY FORGE
who are the brave, those who begin
again and again— their muscles
engage like a sputtering automobile.
small hills, like a mountain climb.
no one cheers them on in their insanity.
the lonely forge ahead, forgotten hacks.*
