The Divine Right

Overcoming myself,
I crowned the impossible

The weight finally lifted
—abandoning the throne

It would be great to be a mannequin, 
For they never put on weight, 
But for me, it's too late.

Paperweight

I am a paper
 you are weight
 without you
 I’d fly away
 and with you
 I am crumpled
 crushed under
 and faded with age

That Prose

That prose
of a woman knows
That feeling 
goes into her toes
When the weight of
her living goes
into the unknown
prose.

Stilled Voice (For John Gawsworth, 1921-1970)

Poetry is easy, life is hard,
And so the bravest bard
Begins to buckle with the weight of brutal years—
His singing disappears.

Tired

MY atmos and cells are tired
   of the weight of life and time
I ask  good God for strength
and so I live stoically, forward...!

Unfortunately, I can not dance.
I want this badly, but no chance
There is three major obstacles,
My age, my weight, my testicles!

I willingly pay a hard-earned fortune 
just to lose excess

Many others have the misfortune
