There is weight that is tangible
and then there is
another sort of weight

that clutches onto your shoulders
with pointed fingers

that sinks its elbows
to your stomach

that sits abruptly
on your face

Permanent

Suns rays, always melting my skin to the mailbox.

5.06. Afternoon. The sun was peeking out, winking cheekily in the spaces between buildings and other objects of great height. I felt tired, very tired and a little bit drunk. That was probably just the bourbon speaking. I was sick of watching the sun cackle at another unproductive day – all it had to do was spread some rays and the quota was fulfilled. Easiest shit, really. Get low behind the buildings, big old sun, get back low down there.
