The Burden
Another day dawns.
The pale fingers of the sun
crawl across your forehead,
sit squarely on your throbbing eyelids.
You turn, shielding yourself
from life's assault.
Everything needs your attention,
and you are running short
of attention to give.
The world turns.
You hurt as you labor,
but still you live.
Another day dawns.
The alabaster snowlight
slaps your face,
Illuminating crazed patterns
behind your sewnshut eyelids.
You turn, cursing the frigid season
that bites your bones.
Everything needs your attention,
but pain eats it all away.
The world turns.
You hurt as you labor,
but still you live.
Another day dawns.
You find your way through the fog
to my parlor.
I show you to the new uncomfortable chair
I have bought just for you.
You sit, unable to find a soft place
to rest,
and, peering over the edge of flame
that half-consumes you,
tell me you never expected to live this long.
I smile at you, not bothering to hide my fangs,
and say, "L'chaim!"
