Remove me

September 5, 1998 — Filed under: mypoems

Remove me, my friends and fellows the rock is too heavy too difficult to handle the muscle is tiered the tendons have all but torn sweat from my body has made the ground slick beneath my feet I am tiered, I am weak loosen the chains, let me forget my fellows and friends you have come to my aid you can hold the stone I am too weak Take my flesh from these old bones you are my strength let me hide and never stir again.
